Amazon Web Services to expand platforms in India

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced that it will open an AWS infrastructure region in India for its cloud computing platform in 2016.

Senior Vice President of AWS, Andy Jassy stated, “Tens of thousands of customers in India are using AWS from one of AWS’s eleven global infrastructure regions outside of India. Several of these customers, along with many prospective new customers, have asked us to locate infrastructure in India so they can enjoy even lower latency to their end users in India and satisfy any data sovereignty requirements they may have. We’re excited to share that Indian customers will be able to use the world’s leading cloud computing platform (AWS) in India in 2016 – and we believe India will be one of AWS’s largest regions over the long term.”
