MAXIS BECOMES FIRST TELCO TO MIGRATE MISSION-CRITICAL WORKLOADS TO AWS MALAYSIA REGION

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 (Bernama) -- Maxis Berhad (Maxis) has successfully migrated its mission-critical workloads to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Malaysia Region, making it the first telecommunications provider in the country to achieve the milestone.

Maxis in a statement today said that the migration includes 100 per cent of the company’s digital workloads such as the Maxis and Hotlink applications that serve millions of users nationwide.

The telco said hosting these workloads locally has reduced latency, resulting in faster response times and a smoother experience for its customers.

Maxis Chief Information Officer Ng May Ching in the statement said the move secures the company's data within Malaysia’s borders while improving operational efficiency.

"This ensures our infrastructure is resilient and future-ready to support the nation’s digital agenda,” she said.

According to the statement, the transition was led by Maxis’ internal cloud engineering team, highlighting technical expertise developed since the company began its cloud journey with AWS in 2016.

Meanwhile, Maxis Chief Enterprise Business Officer Prateek Pashine said the successful internal migration reinforces the company's ability to assist other Malaysian businesses in addressing data sovereignty requirements.

In the same statement, AWS Malaysia Country Manager Hussein Mohd Ali said Maxis’ successful migration demonstrates what's achievable and positions the company to guide other Malaysian enterprises through their respective cloud transformations.

"This milestone strengthens the partnership between Maxis and AWS. As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner and AWS Direct Connect Partner in Malaysia, Maxis provides expert guidance to help businesses build, optimise and integrate secure, high-performance cloud connectivity," the statement said.
