据财联社报道，电商巨头亚马逊正加速其全球数据中心的布局，预计在未来15年内将斥资高达1480亿美元用于建设和运营。这一大规模投资计划显示出亚马逊对于云计算业务的持续押注和扩展野心。在过去的两年中，亚马逊已承诺投入巨资，旨在强化其在美国弗吉尼亚州和俄勒冈州的现有数据中心，并进一步将触角延伸至密西西比州、沙特阿拉伯和马来西亚等新兴市场。
尽管近期亚马逊在其他领域采取了成本削减措施，但其云服务分支——亚马逊云科技（AWS）的数据中心资本支出在2023年仅下降了2%。相比之下，微软在数据中心建设上的投入则显著增加，增幅超过50%。这表明在云计算市场的竞争中，两家公司采取了不同的战略。
亚马逊首席财务官奥尔萨夫斯基在上月的声明中透露，为了支持AWS的扩张，以及包括人工智能在内的创新项目，公司计划在2023年增加资本支出。这一决策凸显了亚马逊对云服务和相关技术的重视，预示着未来全球云计算市场将可能迎来更多由亚马逊驱动的创新和增长。

News Title: “Amazon to Invest $1.48 Trillion in Global Data Center Expansion, Accelerating AWS’s Reach into New Frontiers”
Keywords: Amazon investment, data center expansion, AWS growth
News Content: According to Caixin Global, e-commerce giant Amazon is stepping up its global data center strategy, with plans to invest as much as $1.48 trillion over the next 15 years in construction and operations. This massive investment signals the company’s continued commitment and expansion ambitions in the cloud computing sector. Over the past two years, Amazon has pledged substantial funds to reinforce its existing data centers in Virginia and Oregon in the United States and to extend its presence into emerging markets like Mississippi, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia.
Despite recent cost-cutting measures in other areas, Amazon’s cloud services division, Amazon Web Services (AWS), saw only a 2% decline in data center capital expenditures in 2023. In contrast, Microsoft has significantly increased its investment in data center construction by over 50%. This suggests that the two companies are adopting distinct strategies in the cloud computing market competition.
In a statement last month, Amazon’s CFO Brian Olsavsky revealed that the company intends to increase its capital expenditure in 2023 to support AWS’s expansion and innovation projects, including those in artificial intelligence. This decision underscores Amazon’s emphasis on cloud services and related technologies, foreshadowing more innovation and growth in the global cloud computing market driven by Amazon.
