Portuguese operator NOS is strengthening its leadership in providing cloud services by offering support for AWS Outposts, with high data processing capacity hosted in Portugal.
In cooperation with Amazon Web Services (AWS), NOS will start providing AWS Outposts from a data center based in Portugal, accelerating IT modernization and enabling bespoke cloud adoption scenarios for Portuguese companies so they can benefit from the flexibility, cost reduction, pace of innovation, scalability, and security of AWS.
AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to any data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent hybrid experience. So, companies in Portugal who have workloads that require low latency access to on-premises systems, local data processing, or local data storage can benefit from AWS Outposts. These include applications that may need to generate near real-time responses, communicate with other on-premises systems, or control on-site equipment.
The support services are provided by AWS and NOS, enabling companies to save time, reduce costs and minimize risks. To support AWS Outposts in Portugal, NOS had to meet a number of criteria relating to security, capacity, and innovation. The latest generation NOS data centers were certified by AWS and its technical staff received specialist training to be able to manage AWS Outposts, integrating it with the portfolio of cloud solutions already available from NOS.

This is the start of a range of initiatives with AWS that will allow NOS to develop and consolidate its positioning as a benchmark supplier of Cloud and Edge Computing solutions to the B2B market.
