AWS launches new disaster recover programme across A/NZ 16 Dec 2020
Amazon Web Services has announced the launch of a new disaster recovery programme in Australia and New Zealand.
Iain Rouse, country director for Amazon Web Services, Public Sector in Australia and New Zealand, says because both Australia and New Zealand are prone to natural disasters - from devastating droughts and bushfires to volcanic eruptions and once-in-a-hundred-year floods - it was vital AWS worked alongside its customers and partners to help people respond to crises and to develop solutions that will help reduce the impact of disasters. We aim to help state and local governments, community organisations, and educational institutions better prepare for natural and man-made disasters by reducing the impact these might have on their critical IT systems, keeping data safely backed-up and secure, and readily accessible when needed, he says.
