Amazon Web Services has announced that is set to launch its AWS cloud computing platform in China in early 2014,
The company has announced the upcoming limited preview of its China Region for the AWS cloud computing platform. The company will open a new datacentre in Beijing to help facilitate this.
This will be the fourth AWS Region in Asia Pacific and the tenth Region globally. In the limited preview, which will be deployed in early 2014, a select group of China-based and multinational companies with customers in China will be invited to begin using AWS Cloud services in the AWS China Region to build their businesses and run their applications in the cloud.
To comply with China’s legal and regulatory requirements, AWS China has taken a multi-partner approach for delivering cloud services. AWS is partnering with multiple local Chinese providers, including ChinaNetCenter and SINNET, who will provide the necessary datacentre and Internet Service Provider services, such as infrastructure, bandwidth, and network capabilities, to support the delivery of AWS software technology services in China.
