Akamai is expanding its services to new data centers across the globe. Each new data center will undergo a beta period, where a limited number of interested customers can deploy services in these regions. All Akamai cloud computing services are fully operational in these data centers. In addition, Premium plans and upgraded Object Storage clusters are *currently* only available in these new data centers (though these services will eventually be rolled out to the entire fleet). As a beta participant, please review this guide for additional specifications and details you may need when configuring your workloads in the one of these data centers.

Capacity in beta data centers may be limited as we continue to scale up resources. Additionally, the beta environment is subject to change. We strongly suggest that participants do not run production workloads during the beta.

You must enrolled in the beta to select one of the new data centers when deploying services. If you are a beta participant but are not able to target one of these data centers, please contact the [Support team](https://www.linode.com/support/) for assistance. You need to request access to *each* data center you wish to use during the beta period.

### Object Storage

The new data centers feature consistent and reliable S3-compatiable Object Storage backed by a 100% SSD-based cluster capable of 750 requests per second per bucket. Object Storage includes 250 GB of storage for a pro-rated $5/month. For more information on pricing, consult our [Object Storage features and limitations](/docs/products/storage/object-storage/#pricing).
The new data centers feature enhanced Object Storage, which improves upon the consistency and reliability of the existing service and offers increased capacity (outlined below). Review the [Availability](/docs/products/storage/object-storage/#availability) and [Specifications](/docs/products/storage/object-storage/#specifications) section of the Object Storage documentation for more details.

For the IDs and URLs of the new Object Storage clusters, see below:
- **Max storage** (*per region, per account*): 1 PB (up from 5 TB)
- **Max # of objects** (*per region, per account*): 1 billion (up from 50 million)

The following table includes the IDs and URLs of each new Object Storage cluster:

| Data Center | Cluster ID | Cluster URL |

### Premium Plans

A new Premium tier Dedicated CPU plan type for Compute Instances is available only in the new data centers. This is in addition to our standard tier Dedicated CPU, Shared CPU, and High Memory instance types. These Premium tier instances guarantee a baseline hardware class that includes new AMD EPYC CPUs™. These Premium offerings are built for applications with critical performance needs such as enterprise video encoding, AI, CI/CD, build servers, and data analysis. Below are the pricing and hardware specifications for Premium tier Dedicated CPU Instances:
