Amazon Web Services is to open its own data centre in Italy in early 2020, bringing local storage and lower latency to a sixth European location following France, Germany, Ireland, the UK, and Sweden.
AWS provides 57 Availability Zones across 19 geographic regions globally, with another 12 Availability Zones across four regions coming online between the end of 2018 and the first half of 2020 in Bahrain, Hong Kong SAR, South Africa, and Sweden.
“For thousands of years, Italians have been the architects of some of the most innovative and ground-breaking technical and artistic feats,” said Andy Jassy, Chief Executive Officer, Amazon Web Services.
“We’ve been amazed with how Italian companies have invented on top of AWS thus far, but believe an AWS Region in Italymakes it even easier for Italian companies and government organizations to reinvent and evolve customer and citizen experiences for many decades to come.”
