Asana Japan Data Center

Overview

Our mission at Asana is to help humanity thrive by enabling the world’s teams to work together effortlessly. And when we say the world’s teams—we mean it. Today more than 126,000 paying organizations use Asana to orchestrate their work.

As we continue expanding our global footprint and supporting a wider variety of teams and industries around the world, we want to ensure customers have more control over where their data is stored. To serve our customers, we have launched a new data center in Tokyo, Japan, available today to Asana Enterprise customers.

With Asana Enterprise, organizations can address data residency obligations by storing their task, project, attachment, and intellectual property in Tokyo. Asana partners with Amazon Web Services to deliver in-region storage with high reliability and performance. With access to a new regional data center, customers can more easily adhere to both internal data policies as well as evolving government and third-party regulations enforcing data residency requirements.
