Amazon Web Services has recently created a distinct UK presence with the opening of the AWS Europe (London) Region earlier this year. The new availability zones enabled many firms to reduce IT costs, address data locality needs, and embark on rapid transformations in critical new areas such as big data analysis. In total, AWS now offers its users a choice between 17 regions with a total of 44 availability zones around the world.

Chief Architect Andy Carroll, who was brought on earlier this year to lead the AWS migration effort, said: “We were an early adopter of the web for both the front- and back-end of our platform for multiple reasons – simplicity, extensibility, flexibility and scalability to name a few. Amazon has been a fantastic partner for us since we developed our next-gen platform, and we’re very happy to have moved our full infrastructure to it to create a fully-resilient data center mesh globally.”

He added: “The quality of our service organization is a significant part of our value proposition, and with the expansion of our business we required an infrastructure partner that will grow with us, especially as we build our client base in Europe. With a global footprint, AWS will allow us to quickly add capacity or even spin up new datacenters entirely so we can continue providing the level of service our clients have come to expect from us.”
