Amazon FSx for Lustre Persistent-2 file systems are now available in four additional AWS Regions
Amazon Web Services has expanded availability of its FSx for Lustre Persistent-2 file systems to four new regions: Asia Pacific (Hyderabad and Jakarta), Europe (Zurich), and South America (São Paulo). The regional expansion brings AWS's high-performance file system service to customers in these geographic areas who require low-latency access for compute-intensive workloads. FSx for Lustre Persistent-2 file systems are built on AWS Graviton processors and deliver up to 1 GB/s throughput per terabyte of storage, representing improved performance and cost efficiency compared to previous generation FSx for Lustre offerings. The service is designed to accelerate machine learning training, high-performance computing simulations, media processing, and financial modeling workloads that require fast access to large datasets. Customers in the newly supported regions can now provision FSx for Lustre Persistent-2 file systems through the AWS Management Console, enabling them to run performance-critical applications closer to their users and data sources while reducing latency and data transfer costs.
Why It Matters
This regional expansion addresses growing demand for high-performance computing infrastructure in emerging markets and provides organizations in these regions with local access to enterprise-grade parallel file systems. The availability of Graviton-powered FSx for Lustre in more regions supports the trend toward distributed computing and helps organizations comply with data residency requirements while maintaining performance for HPC and ML workloads.
