Coming soon: Datadog’s New Availability Zone in the United Kingdom

Why now, why the United Kingdom?

Stronger Compliance:
As UK regulatory scrutiny on data governance increases, the UK availability zone keeps data stored and processed within the UK to help organisations align with UK GDPR and national security expectations.

Greater Data Security & Trust:
93% of UK IT leaders say data residency influences cloud decisions. Keeping data stored in the UK helps simplify governance and build confidence.

Accelerating Cloud & AI Adoption in the UK:
AI adoption in the UK is increasing rapidly, and cloud spending continues to grow. Local data storage supports scalable, high-performance workloads.
