Now available in Canada: Data residency built for Canadian operations

Today marks an important milestone for Samsara in Canada as our local data centre goes live. This launch reflects our continued investment in Canadian organizations and our commitment to supporting fleets and on-the-ground operations with technology designed for local needs.

Hosted by AWS Canada, this dedicated infrastructure enables customers to store and process their data within Canada’s borders, while maintaining the performance, security, and advanced capabilities of the Samsara Connected Operations Platform. For organizations operating in regulated environments, it offers a clear path to modernize with confidence.

Built for Canadian data sovereignty

Canada has some of the world’s most rigorous privacy and data protection standards. For many public sector organizations, government agencies, Crown corporations, and other regulated industries, data sovereignty is not simply a best practice, it’s a requirement.

Samsara’s Canada data centre was purpose-built to support these needs. By keeping data storage and processing within Canadian borders, organizations can better align with federal, provincial, and industry-specific regulations, while continuing to benefit from cloud-based, AI-powered technology. 

This investment reflects Samsara’s long-term commitment to Canada and our belief that organizations shouldn’t have to choose between compliance and innovation. Customers hosting their data in Canada have access to the same features, functionality, and service-level agreements as those hosted in the United States—with no trade-offs in capability or support.

This approach is especially important for organizations operating at scale in highly regulated environments, such as First Student, North America’s leading student transportation provider. Operating in eight Canadian provinces, First Student supports the safe, daily transportation of hundreds of thousands of students—helping school boards and districts meet their responsibility to students and communities from British Columbia and the Prairies to Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada.

A long-term commitment to customers

The launch of Samsara’s Canada data centre reflects our dedication to supporting Canadian organizations. By putting local infrastructure in place, we’re helping public sector and regulated organizations move forward with technology that aligns with their operational needs, while keeping data in Canada.

Data residency is available immediately for new Samsara customers in Canada. Existing Canadian customers will continue operating on their current systems without disruption, with no action required.
