Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon company, today announced the launch of its second Region in the Middle East, the AWS Middle East (UAE) Region.
Starting today, developers, startups, entrepreneurs, and enterprises, as well as government, education, and nonprofit organizations will have even greater choices for running their applications and serving end users from data centers located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), using advanced AWS technologies to drive innovation.
AWS estimates that the projected spending on the construction and operation of the new Region will support an average of nearly 6,000 full-time jobs annually at external vendors, with a planned $5 billion (20 billion dirhams) investment in the local economy through 2036.
The AWS Middle East (UAE) Region will also add an estimated $11 billion (41 billion dirhams) over the next 15 years to the UAE’s gross domestic product (GDP).
