The North America Services Division of Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM)
today announced the addition of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to its
Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace.
Available immediately to Ingram Micro channel partners in the
U.S., the new offerings include Amazon Simple Storage Service
(Amazon S3), a reliable, scalable, fast and inexpensive storage
offering for businesses interested in storing and retrieving any
amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the Web, as well as
AWS Storage Gateway, a service that provides seamless and secure
integration between an organization's on-premises IT environment
and Amazon Web Services storage infrastructure.
"Amazon S3 and AWS Storage Gateway mark some of the first
on-demand storage offerings available on the Ingram Micro Cloud
Marketplace," says Renee Bergeron, vice president of Managed
Services and Cloud Computing, Ingram Micro North America. "For
Ingram Micro channel partners, these two services form linchpins in
creating robust cloud service solutions."
Other AWS products, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon
EC2) and Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), will be
made available to Ingram Micro channel partners throughout the
summer and fall of 2012.
"Amazon Web Services provides a highly reliable, scalable,
low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that channel partners
can use to support the business needs of large enterprises, small
and medium size businesses and startup customers around the world,"
said Terry Wise, director of Worldwide Partner Ecosystem, AWS.
"With a variety of on-demand, pay as you go services, AWS is
providing channel partners key infrastructure services to build and
deliver solutions faster and at a lower cost to their customers.
Working with Ingram Micro will expand our reach into the IT channel
and enable us to better engage and further educate the MSP and VAR
community about the benefits AWS provides."
"Ingram Micro and AWS are industry leaders in the cloud services
marketplace and this distribution alliance marks a strategic
milestone in the maturation and growth of the cloud computing
within the IT channel," continues Bergeron. "The AWS portfolio will
bring tremendous opportunity and additional business value to our
channel partners by enabling them to expand the depth of their
cloud service offerings and deliver the promise and reliability of
cloud computing to their customers in a more cost-effective and
scalable manner."
