APN Partners are focused on your success, helping customers take full advantage of the business benefits AWS has to offer.

Data and analytics success relies on providing analysts and data end users with quick, easy access to accurate, quality data. Enterprises need a high performing and cost-efficient data architecture that supports demand for data access, while providing the data governance and management capabilities required by IT. Data management excellence, which is best achieved via a data lake on AWS, captures and makes quality data available to analysts in a fast and cost-effective way.

The annual Global Partner Summit was held Dec. 2-6 at AWS re:Invent 2019, and we are excited to introduce the APN’s new program launches and key initiatives for 2020. Global Partner Summit helps APN Partners to leverage AWS technologies and learn how the APN program can help companies build, market, and sell their AWS-based offerings. This post will showcase the new APN programs that partners can take advantage of today, including AWS Service Ready and the APN Global Startup Program.

Mid- to late-stage startups need to move at a fast pace in order to compete with much larger companies. To help businesses build, market, and sell faster with AWS, we developed the APN Global Startup Program. This program is invite-only and helps startups become enterprise-ready with prescriptive benefits, simplified paths to meeting foundational requirements for the AWS Partner Network, and a robust set of resources to help startups accelerate their growth.

Migrating customer workloads to the AWS Cloud typically comprises several phases: migration readiness assessment, migration planning, the actual migration of applications, and post-migration application optimization. Application profiling is a class of technology for guiding customers across migration phases from end to end. Datadog’s application profiling solution provides cross-platform visibility by collecting, aggregating, and visualizing data from on-premises and cloud environments.

Large mainframes have challenging non-functional requirements in order to process large volumes of data and users for core-business workloads. Micro Focus Enterprise Server mainframe capabilities, combined with AWS global infrastructure, provide the quality of service required by large applications. With this solution, enterprises and public institutions deploy mainframe workloads on AWS with high security, high availability, elasticity, and robust system management.

Mainframe proprietary storage solutions such as VTLs hold valuable data locked in a platform with complex tools. This can lead to higher compute and storage costs, and make it harder to retain existing employees or train new ones. When mainframe data is stored in a cloud storage service, however, it can be accessed by a rich ecosystem of applications and analytics tools. Model9 enables mainframe customers to backup and archive directly to AWS.
