AWS, which stands for Amazon Web Services, offers a suite of computer services for businesses delivered over the Internet, like data storage and analytics. In a corporate blog post, the company said the data centre will be carbon-neutral. The Quebec government and local entrepreneurs have for years promoted the province as an attractive location for data centres. They cite cheap and plentiful hydroelectric power and the cold climate as ideal for cooling heat-generating server farms. The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal hailed the news as proof that Montreal's IT sector is recognized worldwide. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/amazon-aws-montral-data-center-1.3405616?cmp=rss&cid=news-digests-montreal Here's another US company setting up in Montreal. There are quite a few of them, international as well. More jobs.
