Xiaomi is a Chinese firm that is seeing some success outside of its home country. One of the things that turns many international users off is having their personal and business information stored in China where cybercrime is rampant. Xiaomi’s Hugo Barra has recently announced that the company is in the process of migrating data from Beijing where it currently resides to data centers in other countries.
Xiaomi will be using Amazon AWS data centers in California and Singapore to start. The official reason for migrating the data is to improve performance for Mi fans around the world, cut down on latency, and reduce failure rates.
Xiaomi does say that it equips the firm to maintain high privacy standards and comply with local data protection regulations. Server and data migration will happen in three phases with phase one being e-commerce migration to the Amazon AWS centers mentioned previously. This phase will be over by the end of October.
Phase 2 is MIUI service migration with data going to Amazon AWS centers in Oregon and Singapore with transfer expected to be over by the end of 2014. Phase three is described as going local with improvements made for India and Brazil. Those locations don’t have Amazon AWS so Xiaomi will work with local providers for those markets with things happening in 2015.
