SEATTLE (dpa-AFX) - Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud computing division
of tech tech giant Amazon (AMZN), is launching an infrastructure region in
Taiwan by early 2025.

The new AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region will give developers, startups,
entrepreneurs, and enterprises, as well as education, entertainment, financial
services, and nonprofit organizations, greater choice for running their
applications and serving end users from data centers located in Taiwan, the
company said in a statement.

An AWS region is a physical location where data centers are clustered. The new
AWS Region will consist of three Availability Zones at launch, adding to AWS's
existing 105 Availability Zones across 33 geographic regions globall

As part of its long-term commitment, AWS is planning to invest billions of
dollars in Taiwan over the next 15 years.

'AWS is committed to helping customers of all sizes and across all industries
accelerate their digital transformation with the highest levels of security and
resilience available,' said Prasad Kalyanaraman, vice president of
Infrastructure Services at AWS. 'The new AWS Region in Taiwan will enable
organizations to unlock the full potential of the cloud and build with AWS
technologies like compute, storage, databases, analytics, machine learning and
artificial intelligence to drive innovation and transform the way businesses and
institutions serve their customers. We look forward to helping customers and AWS
Partners in Taiwan deliver cloud-enabled applications to accelerate growth,
productivity, and innovation with lower latency from data centers located in
Taiwan.'

'We appreciate AWS for offering a diverse array of innovative cloud services to
both local and international enterprises. Taiwan boasts a well-established
industrial cluster, particularly excelling in sectors such as semiconductors and
information and communications technology,' said Mr. Jung-tai Cho, Premier of
Executive Yuan. 'We anticipate that the new AWS Region in Taiwan will foster a
mutually beneficial, prosperous, and sustainable relationship. This investment
is poised to catalyze the growth of related industry chains, generate
high-quality employment opportunities, and advance sustainable development
initiatives.'
