IBM + AWS—A Partnership Focused on Accelerating AWS Adoption
Over 50,000?IT professionals grabbed their water bottles, step trackers and walking shoes to attend AWS re:Invent 2022. This action packed, 4 day, Las Vegas based conference enables visitors to learn more about and make better use of core AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Aurora as well as check out products and services that enhance those core AWS services.
Now in it’s 10th year, the global cloud community has come together at re:Invent to meet, get inspired, and rethink what's possible. One of the annual traditions at re:Invent is to honor members of the?AWS Partner Network?(APN) who play key roles in helping customers drive innovation and build solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This year, IBM was recognized as the Global Innovation Partner of the Year. This recognition was created to showcase organizations that deliver innovating consulting, professional, managed and value added resale services to AWS customers.
Organizations receiving this prestigious recognition have demonstrated outstanding customer experience throughout the cloud service lifecycle. This includes assessment, design, migration, deployment and management of all types of workloads to the AWS cloud.
To say that cloud is becoming more complex is an understatement. The fact is that hybrid cloud is a reality for many clients. According to HelpNet Security, 67% of IT pros see a hybrid cloud solution as a permanent destination.?As we enter the next stage of infrastructure and application modernization, these same clients are challenged by regulated, mission critical apps, most of which are incompatible with cloud, being rethought, refactored and somehow integrated with other workloads that have already moved.?
Additionally, as these same organizations move deeper into cloud transformation, they need a partner that is familiar with addressing the complexity of their application landscape, as well as one that can leverage worldwide and vertical specific best practices to enable consistency in operating models across hybrid cloud environments?
IBM is laser focused on how it can address the needs of its clients as they shift toward a digital future.?IBM’s strategic collaboration with AWS is multi faceted and the commitment is strong. Organizationally, IBM touts 13,000+ AWS Certified Cloud Practitioners, mastery in 14 AWS Competencies, and 16 validated service delivery programs. IBM Consulting is one of the world’s largest SAP partners with 6,500 implementations and has delivered hundreds of SAP engagements on AWS.
Customers will continue to need assistance to grow and innovate their cloud footprints. Gartner predicts that that of the nearly $600 billion in anticipated 2023 public cloud spend, $150 billion will be spent on cloud system infrastructure services and $42 billion on cloud management and security services
IBM’s broad partnership with AWS includes the ability for clients to procure the IBM SaaS products in AWS Marketplace, and then set up and integrate with AWS services, allowing them to get started with just a few clicks, without deploying, updating or managing any of the infrastructure.
