Cloud computing agency Amazon Web Services is establishing an AWS Region with three Availability Zones in Hyderabad, at an estimated capital investment of $2.77 billion, making it the largest overseas direct investment, Telangana has attracted.

A launch from the IT and Industries Departments mentioned “The AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region is expected to start operations by mid-2022. The Availability Zones (AZs) consist of multiple data centres in separate distinct locations within a single region that are engineered to be operationally independent of one another with independent power, cooling, physical security, and connections via a low-latency network.”
AWS will set up knowledge facilities in three places with an total estimated capital investment of $2.77 billion (₹20,761 crore). The investment would place Telangana as one of the popular locations for different firms that want to arrange knowledge centres in future.
“Establishment of data centres like AWS is expected to support Telangana’s digital economy and IT sector in a multi-fold way. The new AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region will enable even more developers, startups, and enterprises as well as government, education, and non-profit organizations to run their applications and serve end-users from data centres located in India. Establishment of data centres in a region will increase the operations of sectors such as e-commerce, public sector, banking and financial services (BFSI), IT, and more,” the discharge mentioned.
Mr. Rao, who had met the AWS management throughout his Davos go to earlier this yr and subsequently to speed up the closure of the investment, mentioned: “AWS choosing Hyderabad as their preferred destination speaks volumes about the swiftness with which the government operates and also the transparency in the system. This investment further strengthens the existing relationship Telangana enjoys with Amazon. We, at Hyderabad, are already hosting the largest office campus of Amazon.”
The launch mentioned Telangana is one of probably the most progressive States with insurance policies focused particularly in direction of advancing the expansion of IT and ITeS companies. “AWS chose Hyderabad because of the support provided by the government of Telangana, robust policy framework, and because it best met the rigorous requirements for an AWS Region.”
The new Region will be part of the prevailing 9 AWS Regions and 26 AZs throughout Asia, in India, Australia, Greater China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore. Globally, AWS has 77 AZs throughout 24 infrastructure areas and plans to launch 15 extra AZs and 5 extra AWS areas in India, Indonesia, Japan, Spain and Switzerland.
