Global media and technology company values AWS
for its infinite scalability, speed, reliability, and breadth of
functionality in the cloud
Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company
(NASDAQ:AMZN), today announced that Comcast Cable has selected AWS
as its preferred public cloud infrastructure provider. Comcast
Cable will expand its use of AWS by migrating material workloads
and building new applications on AWS.
AWS provides important infrastructure and services to Comcast as
it focuses on building cloud-native products and services on AWS
that adapt and evolve to meet the needs of customers. That focus is
reflected in the class-defining X1 Platform, award-winning
voice-control technology, and Xfinity xFi, Comcast’s personalized
Wi-Fi experience that gives customers pinpoint control over their
home networks. Comcast’s primary businesses, Comcast Cable and
NBCUniversal, are currently running workloads on AWS which has
enabled these businesses to become more nimble and launch new,
revenue-generating initiatives in the competitive entertainment
industry.
“We have deepened our strategic relationship with AWS, making
the industry’s leading cloud our preferred public cloud provider,”
said Jan Hofmeyr, Chief Network and Operations Officer and Senior
Vice President at Comcast Cable. “Over the years, we have leveraged
the breadth and depth of AWS’s services, including compute,
storage, and analytics. In that process, we’ve found AWS to be
extremely customer focused.”
“For industry leaders like Comcast Cable, the quest to
anticipate and exceed consumers’ media and entertainment needs is
never ending,” said Mike Clayville, Vice President, Worldwide
Commercial Sales at AWS. “Comcast Cable’s goal has always been to
stay a step ahead of the competition. In order to do that, they
wanted solutions that were agile, flexible and ready for what’s
next. Together, AWS and Comcast Cable collaborated to enable them
to confidently move core business workloads, build new applications
with ease, and gain the agility they required by using AWS.”
