Cloud-Cast announced that it has been selected by Amazon Web Services to join the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Solution Provider Program. Amazon Web Services provides companies of all sizes with a web services platform in the cloud, and the AWS Solution Provider Program includes Cloud-Cast among a select group of organizations that will deliver solutions and consulting services on the AWS infrastructure platform.
Focused on the growing market for cloud computing and virtualization services, Cloud-Cast delivers cloud computing solutions to government and commercial markets. Leveraging service providers such as AWS, Cloud-Cast offers a full range of cloud computing implementation services, including leveraging AWS for disaster recovery purposes, dynamic provisioning of web farms and offloading high-power compute applications to the cloud framework.
“We are excited about being selected as an AWS Solution Provider,” said Jason Langone, President of Infinite Group’s Cloud-Cast division. “Amazon’s infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platform is a powerful and scalable delivery mechanism for on-demand cloud computing services. AWS will provide a strategic edge for Cloud-Cast and our clients as we move forward to deliver on the promise of cloud computing – providing a range of robust services in a way that is convenient, cost-effective and environmentally aware.”
In addition to services built on the AWS infrastructure, Cloud-Cast provides cloud-based solutions for applications, desktops and servers, as well as cloud migration and management capabilities. Cloud-Cast’s comprehensive service offering includes the Cloud-CastSM Readiness Assessment, a tool to analyze the business case for proposed cloud computing implementations. Cloud-Cast will also develop proprietary software solutions, with an emphasis on dynamic allocation of cloud computing resources.
