AWS Outposts Global Launch Partner
Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched AWS Outposts at Re:Invent 2018. This year, adding to their previous announcement, AWS has selected Sourced as a global launch partner to participate in evaluating and delivering the service. Sourced is proud to have been selected as a global launch partner capable of enabling AWS Outposts within highly regulated organisations that want to move to the cloud but have strict latency and data security policies.
What is AWS Outposts
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outposts brings native AWS services, infrastructure, APIs, and managed IaaS services to virtually any data centre or on-premises location. Sourced Group is a global launch partner for the new service and has pre-built capabilities and training ahead of the global announcement at re:Invent 2019. As a global launch partner, Sourced has invested in training, research, and local skills in all major markets including ANZ, Asia, and North America.
AWS Outposts brings the power and simplicity of AWS APIs, tools, and infrastructure services to almost any location to provide a truly consistent hybrid experience. Unlike other hybrid topologies that commonly represent a discrete and disconnected pillar of IT services, AWS Outposts seamlessly extends the existing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking and common APIs within client premises. This significantly reduces the complexity and investment required to run and maintain hybrid environments.
At the time of global launch, all of the core AWS services are enabled, with support for multiple compute and storage options. As a global partner, our exclusive perspectives on the product roadmap suggests a much wider ecosystem of services that will be available shortly, unlocking even the most sophisticated of workloads. AWS Outposts has a strong focus on security, with features such as built in physical encryption.
