April 2016CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM6A Match Made in CloudEnterprises across industries have so far swayed beyond the nascent stage of 'adoption or reluctance' when it comes to cloud computing. A major player who made this transformation is Amazon Web Services (AWS), which, for the last 10 years is radically removing the adoption barriers of cloud along with the complexities muddling enterprises around cost factors and achievement of scalability, reliability, and agility in the storage environments. Today, with nearly 31 percent of the global market share, AWS cloud is reigning the domain, ceaselessly hauling in innovation at every layer of the storage infrastructure.En route to achieving this, AWS has broadened the features and appeal of its hybrid and private cloud solutions with partnerships and vendor associations. The AWS public cloud services with the right set of control, auditing, and security features are breaking the paradigm for firms that once chose traditional, legacy approaches, fearing risk of data loss and security threats. These features are immensely supporting enterprises in moving their production workloads or uploading their virtual machines to store data and compute in the cloud. Complimenting this, the dominance of AWS migration services for databases and on-premise data centers are redefining user expectations with its speed and flexibility in the delivery of original video content, granular configurations, SLAs, data streaming, and dedicated hardware. The promise for higher return on revenue and growth rate is inviting companies as well as small businesses to shift their applications from data centers to the AWS cloud to achieve speed, strengthen security, reliability, and access across enterprise devices. As the adoption rate of AWS soars, it presents ample opportunities for the consultants and IT firms to partner with Amazon and take advantage of current climate of cloud computing. Apropos to the transformative shifts seen across the AWS domain, we present the selected list of 25 AWS solution providers to aid companies, users, and partners harness the benefits of cloud services to make their storage infrastructure a match made in cloud.
