The flexible administrative controls make it easy for your Wickr administrator to manage the communication channels and retain information to meet regulatory requirements when required. The information retained is stored on the servers you choose and stays entirely under your control. End-to-End Encryption Wickr provides secure communication between two or more…

I am pleased to announce today the opening of our 28th AWS Region: Europe (Zurich), also known by its API name: eu-central-2. An AWS Region allows you to deploy your most demanding workloads and replicate your applications and data across distinct groups of data centers called Availability Zones. This new Region has three fully redundant Availability Zones located in the vicinity of Zurich. It offers your customers low-latency access to your applications while meeting your data residency requirements. Regions and Availability Zones AWS has the concept of a Region. Each Region is fully isolated from all other Regions. Within each Region, we have built Availability Zones. These Availability Zones are fully isolated partitions of our infrastructure that contain a cluster…

This year, and for the twelfth consecutive year, AWS has been named as a Leader in the 2022 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS). Per Gartner, AWS is the longest-running CIPS Magic Quadrant Leader. AWS was among the first cloud providers when we launched Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) 16 years ago. Our APIs have been adopted by the whole industry and often copied by others. We believe this report validates AWS’s ability to innovate and deliver the broadest and deepest set of services for cloud computing. I encourage you to read the full report to appreciate the details. As Jeff Bezos wrote in his first letter to shareholders…
