The AWS Managed Service Provider (MSP) program validates AWS Partners with a proven track record and experience, providing end-to-end AWS solutions to customers at any stage of the cloud journey, including planning and design, building and migration, operations and support, and automation and optimization.
To achieve the AWS MSP designation, you need to complete an extensive independent audit to ensure your business health and technical capabilities meet a high bar.
Global milking equipment company DeLaval worked with AWS Partner Knowit to build a serverless platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and deliver new digital services. It developed its first application to provide cow behavior analysis using Internet of Things (IoT) sensor data. The solution provides farmers with near-real-time monitoring to track animal wellbeing, when a cow is in heat, and where each one is positioned on the farm. Knowit optimized DeLaval's AWS use, cutting the cost per cow by 75 percent. Farmers now have an affordable application to manage their herd—and achieve more when faced with limited resources.
Global cybersecurity provider Sophos worked with AWS Partner Xtravirt to update and modernize the company’s data centers, providing reduced risk, faster provisioning of new machines, and greater scalability. Using a phased, 3-stage approach, Sophos worked with Xtravirt to re-certify its virtual machines, and identify and migrate critical workloads to VMware Cloud on AWS. The new environment is now more scalable and reliable with less need for infrastructure management.
Kingspan Insulated Panels worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AWS Partner Storm Reply to bring intelligence to its network of factories. Its factories all had individual control and data collection systems leading to a lack of visibility and time-consuming, manual processing to create audits and gain insight into efficiency. Using AWS IoT SiteWise and AWS IoT Core, the two companies created a replicable ‘IoT in a box’ that is ready to ship to any production facility in the world or to help bring new sites online quickly.
Adaptive Financial Consulting (Adaptive) proved the speed and resilience of its open-source cloud-native messaging and clustering technology, Aeron, on Amazon Web Services (AWS). To meet its clients’ needs, Adaptive tested its open-source and premium offerings to analyze their performance using modern infrastructure. Working with the AWS team, Adaptive validated that Aeron Open Source can meet latency, transport speed, and throughput requirements on the cloud using Amazon EC2 instances. Adaptive also improved upon these results using Aeron Premium components, reducing fault-tolerant replication latency by 45 percent for Aeron Cluster and achieving a throughput of 3 million messages for Aeron Transport.
Bridge, a France-based company that specializes in enabling and initiating payments, chose AWS Partner Padok to help it maintain its open banking platform 24/7 while optimizing costs and complying with French employment laws that limit overnight working hours for developers. Built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Bridge’s infrastructure uses APIs to help customers’ systems connect with its platform in real time. Working with Padok, Bridge now has a platform that is secure and available, and the two companies have developed a trusted partnership.
