Kazakhstan plans to host data centers of major global IT companies, including the U.S.-based Amazon. The Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development is holding talks with the corporation’s representatives on the launch of cloud services. Initial testing could begin by the end of the year. Cloud technologies allow multiple organizations to access the computing power they need and store large volumes of data without their own server infrastructure. This will help transform Kazakhstan into a regional digital hub for Central Asia. Notably, construction has already begun on the Data Center Valley in Kazakhstan. The site will have a total capacity of 1 gigawatt.
«They have a service called Amazon Cloud, which offers a wide range of services and a high level of security. Major IT companies around the world use their services. So, if we establish a hub here in Kazakhstan, other major IT companies could also open their offices in the country. They provide widely used cloud services, and Kazakhstan could develop into a regional hub for the entire Central Asian region,» noted Zholdas Sakhanov, Chairman of the Digital Assets and Breakthrough Technologies Committee, Kazakh Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development.
