This increases the number of Azure regions announced across the globe to 42, more than any other major cloud provider.​ The two new regions, available in the first-half of 2018, are intended to be capable of handling sensitive Unclassified data as well as Protected data for the Australian government. Protected is a data classification for the first level of national security classified information in Australia. This is being achieved through a strategic partnership with the Australian-owned firm Canberra Data Centres (CDC). CDC are the preeminent specialist datacenter provider for secure government data in Australia with four modern Canberra-based facilities that hold the accreditations and security controls to handle even Top Secret classified data. ​   Accelerate Mission Critical database migrations Migrating data to a modern Data Estate can be a painful, expensive and time-consuming effort.
