AWS Storage Competency Status for SHI International

SHI International Corp. achieved AWS storage competency status.

This designation recognizes that SHI provides proven AWS services and support to help customers achieve their storage goals on AWS.

Achieving the AWS storage competency differentiates SHI as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member with domain expertise in one or more of the following core storage categories – backup and recovery, primary storage, archive, or Business Continuance/DR (BCDR), having developed technology and solutions that leverage AWS services. To receive the designation, APN partners must possess AWS expertise and deliver solutions on AWS.

“The amount of information our customers need to store is growing exponentially with video, the IoT, and the need to feed machine learning platforms continuing to drive this rapid expansion,” said Kevin Clements, CTO, SHI. “Customers need a cost-effective way to store, manage, and protect this information, and AWS provides a great opportunity to do so. SHI is ready to help customers deploy cloud-based storage solutions, and achieving AWS Storage Competency status gives customers the confidence that SHI is certified by an industry leader to help them in this important area.“

AWS is enabling scalable, flexible solutions from start-ups to enterprises. To support the integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established a competency program to help customers identify consulting and technology partners in the APN with industry experience and expertise.
