Today at AWS re:Invent, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS),
an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ:AMZN), announced three new
AWS Partner Network (APN) programs – the AWS Service Delivery
Program, the APN Public Sector Partner Program, and the VMware
Cloud™ on AWS Partner Program – that will support and differentiate
APN partners who provide solutions and expertise for specific
services, workloads, and industry verticals. AWS also launched two
new AWS Competencies that enable and promote partners who have
demonstrated proven success in Financial Services and Internet of
Things (IoT). To help customers more easily find the right partner
and solution for their specific business needs, AWS launched the
APN Partner Solutions Finder, a new website where customers can
search for, discover, and connect with APN Partners. AWS also
announced that the AWS Marketplace has grown to more than 3,500
listings from 1,100 independent software vendors (ISVs) across 35
different categories, enabling customers to easily purchase and
deploy even more software that is pre-configured for the AWS Cloud.

AWS customers across regions and industries turn to APN Partners
for specialized technology and expertise that helps them solve a
diverse set of business challenges and get the most out of the
expanding range of AWS services. With 60 percent of APN Partners
headquartered outside of the U.S., customers around the globe can
find the tools and services they need to take full advantage of the
AWS Cloud. More than 10,000 new partners have joined the APN in the
past 12 months, offering customers an ever-expanding selection of
software solutions hosted on, or integrated with, AWS. And,
thousands of new APN Consulting Partners are available to help
design, architect, build, migrate, and manage customer workloads
and applications. AWS customers also continue to turn to AWS
Marketplace for their software needs, and today customers around
the world are using over 300 million hours a month of Amazon
Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) to run AWS Marketplace
products.
“There’s never been a better time to be an APN Partner.
Customers are turning to the AWS Cloud to address an increasingly
broad set of needs across their organizations, which translates to
business opportunities for the APN partners that help them achieve
their goals,” said Dorothy Copeland, General Manager, Global
Partner Programs, AWS. “This is why we continue to invest in
programs that help APN Partners differentiate based on the
specialized value they provide to customers. AWS Competencies and
other APN distinctions help customers know that an APN Partner can
deliver the right expertise, solution, or technology for the
job.”
New APN programs for Service Delivery, Public Sector
Partners, and VMware Cloud on AWS
Today, AWS is introducing three new programs that provide tools,
training, and benefits to qualified APN Partners, and help
distinguish them based on specialized expertise:
- The AWS Service Delivery
Program: Identifies APN Consulting and Technology Partners that
have passed technical reviews, and have a validated track record of
customer success with a specific AWS service. For example, a
customer planning to use Amazon Redshift can look to partners that
have earned Amazon Redshift Partner status to provide tested and
validated expertise or solutions. At launch, the AWS Services
Delivery Program has over 150 APN Partner solutions and practices
validated across 15 categories, including Amazon Alexa, Amazon API
Gateway, Amazon Aurora, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon EMR, Amazon
Kinesis, Amazon Machine Learning, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, Amazon
Redshift, AWS CloudFront, AWS Config, AWS Database Migration
Service, AWS GovCloud (US) workloads, AWS Lambda, and AWS WAF.
- The AWS Public Sector Partner
Program: Designed for APN Partners with solutions and
experience to help deliver government, education, and nonprofit
customer missions around the world leveraging the AWS Cloud. With
more than 350 partners at launch, the program helps qualified APN
Partners build and accelerate their AWS Public Sector
business.
- The VMware Cloud on AWS Partner
Program: In October, VMware and AWS announced a strategic
alliance to build and deliver a seamlessly integrated hybrid
offering that will give customers the full software-defined data
center (SDDC) experience from the leader in the private cloud,
running on the world’s most popular, trusted, and robust public
cloud. VMware Cloud on AWS will be delivered, sold, and supported
by VMware as an on-demand, elastically scalable service that
leverages AWS’s global footprint and breadth of services. Launching
in 2017, the VMware Cloud on AWS Partner Program will focus on
supporting customers as they deploy and operate VMware Cloud on
AWS.

AWS Partner Solutions Finder helps customers connect with the
right APN Partners
Customers often ask where to go when looking for a partner that
can help design, migrate, manage, and optimize their workloads on
AWS, or for partner-built tools that can help them achieve their
goals. The AWS Partner Solutions Finder provides customers with a
website where they can easily search, discover, and connect with
trusted APN Technology and Consulting Partners based on their
business needs. Customers can easily search AWS-vetted partner
profiles based on criteria such as location, industry, use case,
and products. The AWS Partner Solutions Finder helps customers
quickly identify authorized AWS Resellers or validated AWS Managed
Service Providers, and find APN Partners who hold specific AWS
Competencies and AWS Service Delivery Program distinctions.
AWS Marketplace continues rapid growth
AWS Marketplace provides a way for customers around the globe to
find, buy, and immediately start using software that runs on AWS by
simplifying licensing, purchasing, and deployment of software to
the AWS Cloud. AWS Marketplace has added more than a thousand new
listings and over 300 new ISVs in the last year, bringing the total
to more than 3,500 software listings from over 1,100 ISVs. More
than 100,000 active customers rely on AWS Marketplace to take the
heavy lifting out of finding, procuring, and deploying third-party
software, and with the recent launch of SaaS Subscriptions on AWS
Marketplace, it’s now easier than ever for AWS customers to start
using third-party SaaS and API products and pay for it all through
their existing AWS bill. SaaS Subscriptions are currently available
for more than 40 solutions on AWS Marketplace, from ISVs such as
Acumatica, Avalara, Datadog, New Relic, Sumo Logic, Trend Micro,
and many more.
