Amazon Web Services
Andy Jassy, CEO
AWS is the biggest spender on hyperscale data centers in the world. The public cloud titan was the Capex king in the data center last year, spending a whopping $26 billion in 2019. No other company in the world spent more money on building and equipping hyperscale facilities than AWS, according to Synergy Research Group.
Seattle-based Amazon continues to buy land across the globe, including the world’s hottest data center markets, at a blistering pace with no plans to slow down data center expansion in 2020. New data center projects overseas for AWS are under way including an $800 million project in Argentina and investing $230 million to expand its presence in Brazil.
