Amazon’s Cloud to rain on Asian enterprises by Q1 2010

Amazon, Google and Apple obviously are poised to be on our upcoming market report slated to be published on 4th Jan, 2010. The greatest thing these all companies have is speed. They can get to any part of the world , including their customers, at a much faster pace than anyone else.
It is this speed that will make these companies thrive while some big, cumbersome, dinosaur-like names will face bigger challenges and will have to fight for survival.
Here’s the announcement:
AWS has announced an expansion of its services into an Asia-Pacific region in the first half of 2010, enabling businesses to deploy compute and storage resources in close proximity to their end-users in the region. AWS customers will be able to access AWS’s infrastructure services from multiple Availability Zones in Singapore in the first half of 2010, then in other Availability Zones within Asia over the second half of 2010. AWS services available at the launch of the Asia-Pacific region will include Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon SimpleDB, Amazon Relational Database Service, Amazon Simple Queue Service, Amazon Elastic MapReduce, and Amazon CloudFront.
“Developers and businesses located in Asia, as well as those with a multi-national presence, have been eager for Asia-based infrastructure to minimize latency and optimize performance,” said Adam Selipsky, Vice President of Amazon Web Services. “We’re very excited to announce the expansion of AWS infrastructure into Asia to help our customers plan their technology investments and better serve their end-users in Asia.”
