Overview

The Data Hosting feature of Felt allows you to control where in the world your data is hosted.

For businesses and organizations dealing with sensitive or regulated data, regional data hosting provides several key benefits:

  • Regulatory Compliance: Many regions have data sovereignty laws requiring certain types of data to be stored within specific geographic boundaries. Regional Data Hosting allows users to comply with these regulations by keeping data within required areas.

  • Reduced Latency: Storing data closer to where it's being accessed can significantly reduce latency. Users in a specific region can experience faster data access and improved application performance when their data is hosted nearby.

The available regions are:

Regional hosting via AWS at Felt

Felt uses AWS as its regional hosting partner. AWS is the world’s biggest cloud hosting provider, serving the world’s biggest companies and most demanding governments.

The AWS infrastructure consists of multiple, physically separate Availability Zones within each Region, offering enhanced fault tolerance and high availability. AWS Regions meet the highest levels of security, compliance, and data protection.

By using AWS, Felt inherits all these security and compliance features built by AWS and relied upon by the world's biggest companies, including most of the world's leading financial institutions. AWS’ multi-AZ design, with independent power, cooling, and physical security connected via redundant networks, provides Felt with a resilient and secure foundation for its operations.
