Global cloud computing player and retailer Amazon today confirmed that it had added an edge
location in Sydney to speed up the delivery of content to Australians, confirming a deployment model which was the subject of speculation some 12 months ago.

Many within the industry have believed the first step in such an investment could be the deployment of a so-called edge
node which would allow the company to speed up the deployment of content to local users, ahead of a potential larger data centre roll-out down the track — via redwolf.newsvine.com
