Datapipe Achieved AWS Storage Competency Status

Datapipe, Inc., in managed cloud services, achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Storage Competency status within the AWS Partner Network (APN).

The AWS Storage Competency is a core competency within the AWS Competency Program. As an AWS partner since 2010, this additional designation highlights Datapipe’s experience in ensuring storage solutions for customers on AWS.

Storage infrastructure can be costly to businesses that are lifting and shifting legacy infrastructures to the cloud. One of the advantages a fully managed AWS storage solution affords is cost-effective storage infrastructure, engineered by an AWS certified solutions architect. The solution is designed to ensure data availability and continuity across cloud and on-premises environments to keep business operations running smoothly and uninterrupted.

Achieving the AWS Storage Competency demonstrates Datapipe’s domain expertise in storage categories, including backup and recovery, primary storage, archive, or business continuance/DR (BCDR,) having developed technology and solutions that leverage AWS services.

“We’re committed to building upon our strong relationship with AWS – one that we’ve fostered since we first launched managed services for AWS in 2010,” said David Lucky, director of product management, Datapipe. “Being one of the first APN partners to achieve AWS Storage Competency Status is a testament to our long track record of safeguarding our customers mission-critical information and ensuring their continued success on AWS Cloud.“

The AWS Competency Program is designed to provide AWS customers with qualified AWS Partner Network (APN) members who have demonstrated technical proficiency and success in specialized solution and vertical areas. The AWS Storage Competency is the fifth AWS Competency Datapipe has achieved. Company’s other AWS competencies include: Migration, Oracle, SharePoint, and Exchange. Each of these AWS recognitions are achieved only after meeting detailed program requirements, customer references, customer support review, and completion of AWS training and certification programs.

AWS Competencies are only awarded to APN partners that have demonstrated technical proficiency and customer success in specialized solution areas. Datapipe is also a member of the AWS Managed Service Program, AWS Service Delivery Program, and AWS Public Sector Partner Program. Datapipe has been an APN premier consulting partner since February 2013 and maintains data center locations in all six AWS regions.
