Amazon will open a Malaysian infrastructure region

 

Customers will be able to execute workloads and securely store data in Malaysia while providing even reduced latency for end users thanks to AWS Region.
AWS’s dedication to satisfying the region’s and Malaysia’s high demand for cloud services is reflected in the establishment of the New Region.
By 2037, AWS intends to spend $6 billion (or MYR 25.5 billion) in Malaysia.

 

Business Wire – Seattle AWS, a division of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), has today announced intentions to open a region for its infrastructure in Malaysia. The new AWS Region will offer developers, startups, businesses, and enterprises, as well as governmental, educational, and nonprofit institutions, more options for using Malaysian data centres to host their applications and provide end users with services. AWS intends to spend $6 billion (or about MYR 25.5 billion) in Malaysia by 2037 as part of its commitment to the area. Visit aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure for more details on AWS Global Infrastructure.

 

AWS has committed to making the biggest foreign technology investment in Malaysia to date, which will advance the Malaysia Madani vision of a highly skilled, creative, prosperous, and sustainable economy, according to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia’s Prime Minister. “Providing Malaysian businesses of all sizes with access to world-class AWS infrastructure, cutting-edge technologies, and cloud skills programmes will open doors for them to grow locally and internationally, nurture a highly skilled workforce, create new jobs, and promote long-term economic growth. The announcement made today affirms Malaysia’s position as a leader in the global digital economy, and we look forward to strengthening our partnership with AWS to progress our country’s cloud-first aspirations.

 

“The new AWS Region represents our strong and ongoing commitment to customers and organisations in Malaysia, as well as our commitment to meeting the significant and quickly expanding demand for cloud services throughout Southeast Asia. According to Prasad Kalyanaraman, vice president of Infrastructure Services at AWS, “We are pleased to support Malaysia’s digital transformation with the highest levels of security and dependability available on AWS cloud infrastructure. “We look forward to assisting Malaysian institutions, startups, and businesses in delivering cloud-powered applications to fuel economic growth throughout the nation and to spur job creation, skills training, and educational opportunities in the communities surrounding our data centres,” the company says.

 

Three Availability Zones will make up the new AWS Region when it launches, adding to the 99 Availability Zones that are already spread across 31 geographical regions worldwide. AWS has plans to introduce 15 additional Availability Zones and five additional AWS Regions in Canada, Israel, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Thailand with today’s announcement. AWS Regions are made up of Availability Zones, which place infrastructure in separate and distinct geographic areas close enough to offer low latency for high availability applications that use multiple Availability Zones but far enough away to significantly reduce the risk that a single event will have an impact on customers’ business continuity. Each Availability Zone is linked by redundant, ultra-low latency networks and has independent power, cooling, and physical security. Customers of AWS who prioritise high availability can increase fault tolerance by designing their applications to run across numerous Availability Zones and Regions.

 

Customers with preferences for data residency will be able to store data securely in Malaysia through the new AWS Region, which will also help customers achieve even reduced latency and meet the demand for cloud services in Southeast Asia. Customers will be able to use cutting-edge technologies from the top cloud in the world to foster innovation, including startups, enterprises, government agencies, and nonprofits. Amazon has the most comprehensive and in-depth service offering, including cloud computing, mobile services, storage, analytics, compute, databases, Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and other cloud technologies.

TNB provides service to more than 9.5 million commercial, industrial, and residential customers nationwide and is the biggest electricity utility supplier in Malaysia. Since 2020, TNB and AWS have worked together to create smart energy solutions, accelerate digital transformation, and enhance customer experience. Azlan bin Ahmad, TNB’s chief information officer, stated that the company was on a quest to transform digitally and go beyond providing utilities. “We will accelerate the release of cutting-edge digital services, allowing customers to more easily monitor and control their energy consumption. This will be accomplished by leveraging world-class AWS services, such as compute, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. We applaud the opening of an AWS Region in Malaysia, which will improve businesses’ efficiency and agility while enabling them to offer a broader variety of services that will enhance the quality of life for residents.

the dedication to environment

 

Amazon has pledged to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across its entire business by the year 2040 as part of The Climate Pledge, and the company is on track to run entirely on green energy by the year 2025, five years earlier than the initial goal of 2030. Amazon, which has been the biggest corporate buyer of renewable energy since 2020, established a new record in 2022 for the amount of renewable energy declared by a single company in a calendar year. Currently, Amazon has 401 renewable energy projects worldwide, including 237 rooftop solar projects on Amazon sites and 164 wind and solar farms. Once operational, Amazon’s international renewable energy initiatives are anticipated to produce 56,881 GWh of clean energy annually. By 2030, AWS will also be water positive, giving back more water to the community than it takes for its operational needs.
