Amazon Web Services (AWS) has unveiled plans to set up 10 Local Zones in Asia-Pacific, as part of a global rollout that will add another 22 locations to the fold. The move to push cloud capabilities to the edge is in line with growing enterprise demand for ultra-low latency and distributed service delivery.
Organisations were digitalising rapidly and building applications that required huge amounts of data to be processed, and quickly, as these moved across networks. It was driving the need for distributed computing models to improve performance and efficiencies, said Olivier Klein, AWS’ Asia-Pacific Japan chief technologist.
