Ingram Micro Cloud, Virtana Announce AWS News
Two AWS partners this week announced milestones with the world’s No. 1 cloud vendor.
First, Ingram Micro Cloud says its team has earned a collective 200 AWS Certifications. That means the vendor continues to prove its cloud acumen, and support its resellers with the latest capabilities.
“Building the best cloud infrastructure requires deep technical knowledge and experience, and our team of experts globally are constantly honing their skills and staying on top of new disciplines in the sector,” said Duncan Robinson, vice president of portfolio management at Ingram Micro Cloud.
The achievement comes about six months after Ingram Micro Cloud inked its Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS. That contract calls for Ingram Micro Cloud to accelerate the growth and footprint of its AWS practice. Part of doing that entails internal personnel obtaining more certifications.
Ingram Micro Cloud works with about 1,000 AWS partners.
Next up, Virtana. The company – whose technology monitors hybrid cloud infrastructure for cost, performance, capacity and more – has added the SaaS product to the AWS Marketplace.
Virtana built the platform on AWS. System integrators now may access it through the AWS Marketplace.
“The combination of AWS best practices and our deep observability and insights are leading to stronger migration methodologies, reductions in cloud expenses, and acceleration of a more powerful digital transformation for our Global 2000 customers,” said Kash Shaikh, president and CEO of Virtana.
