It is built on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Mumbai region, which will be offering to AppDynamics customers in India and throughout Asia.

This is AppDynamics fourth SaaS offering location. Previously, the regions where it offered solution include Asia Pacific (Australia), the European Union (Germany), and North America (US). 

Abhilash Purushothaman, Managing Director, India & SAARC, AppDynamics, said, “AppDynamics’ SaaS offering in Asia opens up a whole new market – particularly in India and creates a real and differentiated value proposition for our existing and prospective customers.”

Cisco views that the new SaaS will resolve potential concerns of data sovereignty and data governance requisites for Indian customers. The Personal Data Protection Bill 2019 is pending in Parliament.

India is witnessing rise in cloud adoption, with IDC reporting that by 2022, 40 percent of new enterprise applications in India will be developed cloud-native, which will be based on a hyper-agile architectural design, and by 2023, 55 percent of the top 500 organizations in India will have a multi-cloud management system.
