According to a media outlet VentureBeat's report on Tuesday, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the media that two regions of data centers are coming online in Korea, including one in Seoul.
Takeshi Numoto, corporate vice president of marketing for Microsoft’s Cloud & Enterprise business wrote in a blog post, "Businesses in Korea and throughout Asia Pacific will be able to use the massive computing power available locally to fuel growth, spur innovation and accelerate digital transformation."
