Not all Availability Zones offered by Beeks are Proximity Cloud zones.
The benefit of a Proximity Cloud Availability Zone is that the Proximity Cloud rack can be installed in any location (not just Beeks datacentres).
Beeks also offers compute resources, analytics and connectivity in Beeks datacentres with some elements of sharing resources with other customers. These other Availability Zones are known as Shared Availability Zones or Private Availability Zones, depending on the amount of resource sharing involved.
Customers can manage multiple Availability Zones of different types from a single Beeks Portal.
