Pax8 will offer more than 250+ AWS solutions, including:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2): Offers the broadest and deepest compute platform, with over 500 instances to choose from, Pax8 partners can pick the CPU, memory, and storage that best suits their workload needs. Additionally, it is the only cloud to provide 400 Gbps ethernet networking.
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3): For Pax8 partners who are ready to take on big data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and high-performance computing applications, Amazon S3 offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance.
“Our team is excited to see AWS being added to Pax8’s offering,” said Dan Johnson, CEO at machineLOGIC. “With customers increasingly using multiple cloud providers to drive their businesses, partners have an opportunity to deliver multi-cloud solutions by leveraging AWS services for backup and disaster recovery, IaaS, cloud storage, and more. We’ve been AWS partners for many years, but we lacked solid go-to-market and training resources beyond what AWS could offer us. With Pax8’s proven track record on partner enablement, it will be great to see how Pax8 empowers partners as they adopt AWS to drive that multi-cloud strategy.”
