\u201cAustralia has a strong history of technical innovation, and the launch of a second AWS Region in Australia provides even greater resilience and enables more customers to develop cloud-based applications that help fuel economic development across the country,\u201d said Prasad Kalyanaraman, Vice President of Infrastructure Services at AWS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know how important access to secure cloud infrastructure is to Victorian businesses and providing more choice will deliver a boost to the economy, support innovation, and help to create new jobs locally,\u201d said Victorian Minister for Trade and Investment, Tim Pallas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
