AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region coming soon

A new AWS Region is coming to Taiwan by early 2025! The AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region will consist of three Availability Zones at launch. This region will give AWS customers the ability to run workloads and store data that must remain in Taiwan. As part of its long-term commitment to Asia Pacific, AWS is planning to invest billions of dollars to support the operation, maintenance, and growth of the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region to support customers across all industries and of all sizes as they transform digitally.

Benefits

Customers in Taiwan choosing AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region will enjoy the following benefits that help address specific business needs.  

  • The new AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region will enable customers with data residency preferences or requirements to store their data securely in Taiwan. Data residency is the requirement that all customer content processed and stored in an IT system must remain within a specific country’s borders, and it is one of the foremost concerns of governments that want to use commercial cloud services.

  • A major factor to consider for user experience is latency. Reduced network latency can make substantial impact on user experience. Choosing AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region which is close to your user base location can help achieve lower network latency and faster response time. It can also increase communication quality, given that network packets have fewer exchange points to travel through. 

  • Like all AWS Regions, this AWS Region in Taiwan consists of a minimum of three, isolated, and physically separate Availability Zones (AZ) within a geographic area. Unlike other cloud providers, who often define a region as a single data center, the multiple AZ design of every AWS Region offers advantages for customers. Each AZ has independent power, cooling, and physical security and is connected via redundant, ultra-low-latency networks. AWS customers focused on high availability can design their applications to run in multiple AZs to achieve even greater fault-tolerance.

Getting Started

Web Applications

AWS customers require web hosting solutions to deploy various types of web applications, including public web portals, internal websites, API applications, and e-commerce platforms. These web applications have different requirements in terms of scalability, availability, security, and performance. Resources below can be a good start:

Data Backup

As organizations adopt cloud computing, they face challenges in managing data backups across hybrid environments that span on-premises and cloud infrastructures. This complexity arises from the need to ensure data protection, comply with regulations, and optimize storage costs while seamlessly integrating with existing backup solutions. Additionally, managing the data lifecycle, including data retention policies, archiving, and secure deletion, becomes increasingly crucial in these hybrid environments. Getting started now:

Disaster Recovery

Many organizations face challenges in ensuring business continuity and data protection in the event of natural disasters, system failures, or other disruptive events. Traditional on-premises disaster recovery (DR) solutions can be complex, costly, and often require maintaining redundant infrastructure at a secondary site. As organizations increasingly adopt cloud computing, there is a growing need for efficient and scalable DR solutions that can leverage the flexibility and scalability of the cloud. Learn more:
