The entry of Amazon Web Services (AWS) into Kenya’s cloud computing ecosystem is set to bolster the country’s preparedness for the take-off of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) as its rapid technological transformation keeps attracting Big Tech.
Last week AWS set up a Local Zone in Nairobi to become the ultimate cloud service solutions provider for individuals, small businesses and corporates.
As Silicon Savannah’s demand for cloud storage bulges, the gridlock among many users has been the high cost of renting cloud and database management.
But AWS told Digital Business that its new data centre will be pegged along affordability of cloud services as it steps up efforts to meet the cloud demand in a country that remains one of the leading hubs in internet, smartphone and tech skills penetration in Africa.
“Kenyan users will benefit from cost savings, scalability and the high availability that AWS provides,” said AWS East, West and Central Africa Regional Lead Robin Njiru.
Kenya whose 75 percent of the population is made up of Millennial and Generation Z citizens who love heavy live streaming, online gaming and constant online presence while saving every moment in the cloud will be the biggest beneficiaries of AWS low latency services.
