Grimmer Blvd Suite 202, Fremont, CA 94538T:510.757.1040 EditorialPowering the Startup EcosystemUntil a decade back, nobody would have imagined that an e-commerce company struggling with its scale problems will acquire such immense growth, that too in a time, when the market was already abuzz with leading players like Microsoft and Google. This can be better described in AWS CEO, Andy Jassy's words, "When we wrote the business plan for AWS, I don't think any of us had the audacity to predict that it would become this big this fast." And here it is today, a trillion dollar company, sitting atop the cloud computing space with over 30 percent of market share. AWS, in past decade, has brought a seismic shift in cloud computing.Through all these years, AWS has grown by leaps and bounds through its innovative line of over 70 services and products, giving it an edge over other players in the market. A reason that has helped the company stand out is it has built volume at a very low operating margin, consequently building an extensive client base. AWS has consistently been an ideal partner for startups. Owing to the easy to use infrastructure and low costs, the company has been opted by the most renowned startups such as Airbnb, Slack, Spotify, and the most recent one being Netflix. The kind of names it has added to its clientele in the past few years speak volumes for the kind of expertise it holds. The company clearly believes that the startups are the future and hence, it doesn't leave a stone unturned to ensure it extends continuous support to them through its offerings. However, it doesn't take away the fact that AWS is a global company catering to companies of all sizes, directly and through its partner network.While other players like Microsoft, Google, and Oracle continue to devise strategies to beat Amazon in the cloud computing business, Amazon will continue to retain its position in the cloud computing space. In such a scenario, we are featuring a list of AWS partners and technology companies to help businesses make the right choice while associating with these companies to avail AWS products and services.Do let us know your thoughts.Joe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplications.comJoe Phillip
