Subject:  Amazon ElastiCache is Now Available in Two New Regions

Dear Amazon Web Services Customer,
Amazon ElastiCache (http://aws.amazon.com/elasticache) is now available in two additional regions: US West (Oregon) and South America (Sao Paulo). Starting today, you can use ElastiCache in these regions to add an in-memory cache to your application architecture in a matter of minutes.
Amazon ElastiCache improves the performance of web applications by retrieving data from a fast, managed, Memcached-compatible, in-memory caching system, instead of relying entirely on disk-based databases. It can significantly improve throughput for read-heavy or compute intensive workloads including:
    - Social Networking

    - Mobile and Social Gaming

    - E-Commerce Sites

    - Media Sites

    - Recommendation Engines
"We use ElastiCache to cache the user data and maps in ArcGIS, our collaborative web-based mapping application," said Andrea Rosson, Senior Architect at Esri, the world's largest provider of Geographic Information Systems software. "ElastiCache is fully-managed and Memcached-compatible which made it easy to integrate, deploy, and monitor a multi-node cache cluster in our production environment. ElastiCache reduced the load on our databases and enabled our service to remain responsive to users, even in the face of rapidly growing traffic."
In addition to launching cache nodes in these new regions with the AWS Management Console or via the API, you can also launch them using Amazon CloudFormation templates. These templates allow you to provision a collection of AWS Resources in an orderly and repeatable way.
You can learn more about Amazon ElastiCache [1] by reviewing our Getting Started Guide [2], and viewing our recorded webinar: “Turbo-charge Your Apps Using Amazon ElastiCache.” [3]
Sincerely,
The Amazon ElastiCache Team

読み方は エラスティキャッシュ でしょうか。
Amazon ElastiCache は memcached互換のインメモリキャッシュサービスだそうです。
(互換ちゅうかそのもの?)

東京リージョンでは前から利用できていたようです。
