Overview:
Embarking on a journey of any type requires planning. Planning for technology changes can be diffcult. Nobody knows what infrastructure or service offerings could look like in 5 years. But, aligning yourself to take advantage of both on-premise and cloud technologies will ensure you have a stable, and robust service offering for your internal stakeholders and clients.
According to a CSA (Cloud Security Alliance) report, AWS holds 41.5% of the cloud computing market — greater than all of its competitors combined — Microsoft Azure (29.4%), Google Cloud (3.0%), and IBM (2.6%). Being the largest of the cloud providers, AWS has spent many years focusing on building new technologies and services to support it’s clients and partner network while partners help migrate clients to the cloud. Most Fortune 500 enterprises and over 90 percent of the Fortune 100 organizations leverage the APN (AWS Partner Network) to develop services and solutions for customers. Some of the world’s biggest brands such as Facebook, Netflix, Adobe, and BBC rely on it to fuel their top projects.
