Amazon Web Services has announced the launch of two Amazon CloudFront edge locations in India, specifically at Chennai and Mumbai. These two points-of-presence join a global network of 42 edge locations worldwide that the Amazon CloudFront service uses to deliver content to end-users with low latency and high data transfer speeds. The new edge locations also support Amazon Route 53, a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service.
Shane Owenby, MD of Asia-Pacific, Amazon Web Services, said, Organizations in India need flexibility to rapidly scale IT infrastructure as they grow without spending precious capital on hardware or getting locked into a long-term contract with a co-location facility. Using AWS has removed the constraint related to infrastructure resources and has enabled many of our customers, ranging from start-ups to enterprises to unleash their ideas, innovate fast and build new businesses quickly. With 9 AWS Regions and 42 Amazon CloudFront edge locations around the world, our customers are able to expand globally virtually overnight while delivering great local user experience for their services.
New Edge Locations for Amazon CloudFront will further speed up content delivery across the world. It will also allow the delivery of an entire website as well as images, videos, media files and downloadable software with high performance and low latency to end-users around the globe. By using the network of Amazon CloudFront edge locations around the world to automate the routing of content requests, organizations improve their proximity to users, speed performance and increase user satisfaction.
