# Opening Object Storage in Frankfurt, Germany

As a next step in our European expansion, I am pleased to announce
the immediate availability of Exoscale's Simple Object Storage (**SOS**) service in
the `DE-FRA-1` zone.

Whether you need cross-zone redundancy for objects, lower latency data-access from your
`DE-FRA-1` virtual machine instances, or if you need data to be physically stored in
Germany, you can now create buckets located in Germany.

The new zone gets the same features, performance,
and reliability of our existing [S3 compatible Object
Storage](https://www.exoscale.com/object-storage/). All the data and replicas are kept in our
[German data centre](https://www.exoscale.com/datacenters/germany/).

You can start playing with it using your favourite S3-compatible tool
pointing to the `sos-de-fra-1.exo.io` endpoint.
