The Minister for IT and Industries KT Rama Rao said that to set up multiple data centres in Telangana, Amazon Web Services (AWS) will be investing Rs. 20, 000 in the state.
“Establishment of data centres like AWS is expected to support Telangana’s digital economy and information technology (IT) sector in a multifold way,” said the official release, quoting KTR.
The new AWS Asia-Pacific (Hyderabad) Region will enable even more start-ups, developers, and enterprises as well as government, education, and non-profit organisations to run their applications and serve end-users from data centres located in the country.
Establishment of data centres in a region would increase the operations of sectors such as public sector, banking, e-commerce, and financial services and insurance (BFSI), IT, etc, it added.
Hyderabad had recorded the highest growth rate in the IT sector over the years and is home to many innovative start-ups, enterprises, and a skilled workforce, said KTR .
“The AWS has chosen 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,” he said.
