Have you heard about Salesforce Hyperforce? Salesforce Hyperforce was introduced in 2020, it’s a cloud-native architecture designed to supercharge your business using the public cloud. Sounds cool, right?
Let’s dive in!
Salesforce Hyperforce is a new way that Salesforce is building its platform to run on major public clouds like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. This means that instead of Salesforce running its data centers, it uses the data centers of these big cloud providers.
Imagine your business is growing, and you need more power and flexibility. Hyperforce grows with you! It ensures your data is stored securely and within your country, which is perfect for meeting local regulations. Plus, maintaining your custom apps and Salesforce integrations is a breeze thanks to backward compatibility. Before Hyperforce, Salesforce hosted everything on its own infrastructure. Now, with Hyperforce, you get to choose from top public cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. This gives you more control over where your data lives and how it’s processed.

A public cloud is like renting an apartment in a high-tech building. Companies like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud own and operate these ‘buildings,’ providing the infrastructure you need without you having to manage any physical resources. One of the coolest things about Hyperforce is that you can pick from various global regions to host your Salesforce organization. This means you can select the best location for your data, giving you more options and control over data residency.
