MUMBAI, India --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 28, 2016-- (NASDAQ:AMZN) - Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), the worlds leading cloud computing platform, today announced the launch of the Asia Pacific ( Mumbai ) Region, its sixth in Asia Pacific (APAC). With this launch, AWS now provides 35 Availability Zones (AZs) across 13 technology infrastructure regions globally. More than 75,000 India -based customers are already using other AWS Regions to save costs, accelerate innovation, speed time-to-market, and expand their geographic reach in minutes. Starting today, global and India -based developers, start-ups, enterprises, government organizations, and non-profits can leverage the AWS Cloud to run their technology applications from infrastructure in India , and provide even lower latency to India -based end users. Developers can sign up to start using the AWS Mumbai Region at: http://aws.amazon.com.
The new AWS Mumbai Region consists of two separate Availability Zones at launch. Availability Zones refer to datacenters in separate, distinct locations within a single region that are engineered to be operationally independent of other Availability Zones, with independent power, cooling, and physical security, and are connected via a low latency network. AWS customers focused on high availability can architect their applications to run in multiple Availability Zones to achieve even higher fault-tolerance.
Indian start-ups and enterprises have been using AWS for many years - with most Indian technology start-ups building their entire businesses on AWS, and numerous enterprises running mission-critical, core applications on AWS, said Andy Jassy, CEO of AWS. These same 75,000 Indian customers, along with others anxious to start using AWS, have asked for an AWS India Region so they can move their applications that require low latency and data sovereignty. Were excited to make this available today, with the same pay-as-you-go pricing, ability to get started immediately without having to negotiate enterprise agreements or wait days for access, and unmatched functionality that customers enjoy in AWS Regions worldwide - all of which allows customers to go from idea to launch faster than ever before was possible.
Since its founding in 2006, AWS has changed the way organizations acquire and manage technology infrastructure. With more than a million active customers worldwide, and more than 70 services across compute, storage, databases, analytics, networking, messaging, machine learning, mobile, IoT, and application services, AWS has become the new normal for companies of all sizes and across all industries to deploy their business-critical applications. All AWS Regions around the world undergo regular audits by independent third-parties that validate that each region is designed and built to meet rigorous compliance standards, including ISO 27001, SOC 1 (Formerly SAS 70), SOC 2 Security & Availability, PCI-DSS Level 1 and many more, providing high levels of security for all AWS customers. As with every AWS Region, customers have the assurance that AWS will not move their content from the region they choose. More information on how customers using AWS can meet their security, data privacy, and compliance requirements can be found at https://aws.amazon.com/security.
India -based Customers Welcome AWS Asia Pacific ( Mumbai ) Region
We have been working with AWS since 2012, steadily moving workloads to the cloud, such as test and development environments for our core enterprise systems - we run one of the largest CRM based Dealer Management implementations in the world - more than 90 Tata digital properties in production on AWS, and many other applications, said Jagdish Belwal, CIO of Tata Motors Limited , Indias largest automotive manufacturer. Tata Motors obtained 40 percent savings by running our digital properties at scale, benefitting from the tremendous agility made possible by AWS. One of the key priorities we had was around how AWS could save us costs on traditional workloads, those without much variability or demand spikes, and we are expecting to save similar amounts on traditional workloads by running them on AWS.
Belwal continued, We are so happy to have an AWS Region in India . AWS has allowed our IT teams to focus on innovation and become more nimble to the business demands. Environments that used to take weeks to setup can now be done in days or hours. AWS also makes it extremely straightforward for us to progress on our cloud journey utilizing a hybrid architecture, since it is important to us to leverage the past investments weve made in equipment and technology on-premises for a period of time; as we work to modernize and streamline our operations on the AWS Cloud. Rather than decide on what workloads can move to the AWS cloud, we have moved to asking how fast and which ones will be next in line.
Ola, Indias leading cab aggregator and an Indian online transportation network company, is building their business on AWS.
