Amazon still on track to opening UK data centre

Frankfurt

AMAZON.COM'S cloud computing division remains "committed" to opening a London data centre by early next year, even after the British public's vote for the UK to leave the EU. It will also offer local customers the option of hosting data in Germany or Ireland, a company executive said on Thursday.

"Demand for all our services is growing across all Europe. For us it's business as usual," Stephen Orban, head of enterprise strategy at Amazon Web Services, said.
