	New Amazon Web Services Competency For ISVs Migrating Microsoft Workloads New AWS Competency For ISVs Migrating Microsoft Workloads A new Amazon Web Services competency will validate independent software vendors’ skills and experience in migrating customers’ Microsoft workloads to AWS. AWS technology partners can earn the AWS Microsoft Workloads Competency competency in three Microsoft workloads technology categories – migration, operational optimization, and data, analytics and machine learning (ML). The new track complements the long-standing AWS Microsoft Workloads Competency track for AWS Partner Network (APN)consulting partners in productivity, database and application modernization. AWS unveiled the new competency today in conjunction with its AWS Summit New York. More than 57 percent of Windows workloads in the public cloud run on AWS – almost two times more than the closest cloud provider, Sandy Carter, vice president of AWS Windows and enterprise workloads, wrote in a blog post today, citing a 2017 statistic from research firm IDC. Carter said customers often ask her why they should run their Windows workloads on AWS. “I love to quote our CEO, Andy Jassy, who says, ‘There is no compression algorithm for experience,’” she said. “Customers have been running Windows workloads on Amazon Web Services for over a decade. From that experience, we are able to optimize our platform and innovate on behalf of customers. The number of AWS enterprise customers using Amazon EC2 for Windows Server has grown 5X since 2015.” AWS has more than 14,000 active Windows Server and SQL Server partners, according to Carter. To achieve the new competency, AWS technology partners must undergo a technical validation by AWS Solutions Architects. The competency debuted with 13 launch partners. “It’s a great way for partners to differentiate, but it’s also in a high-demand area,” Kelly Hartman, AWS’ global head of the APN, told CRN. “And it’s the case where a lot of our partners, both technology and consulting, had that experience before, and now they’re able to convert that experience to AWS.” Migration partners’ technologies provide pre-migration assessment and planning, or automate and manage the migration of Microsoft Workloads. Launch partners are Cloudamize, CloudChomp, CloudBasic, Information Builders, Movere, RiverMeadow Software and Turbonomic. Partners earning the competency in the operational optimization category provide technologies that optimize and automate Microsoft Workloads on AWS in the areas of security, availability and manageability. CloudBasic, CloudCheckr, Datadog, FuseForward, Movere, SentryOne, SIOS Technology and Turbonomic already have earned the status. CloudBasic, DataSunrise and Information Builders are the launch partners for the competency’s data, analytics and ML category, which validates independent software vendors whose technologies prepare, transform, analyze and govern data in Microsoft SQL Server for the purpose of data analytics and ML on AWS.

July 19, 2019	Running highly available Microsoft workloads in AWS Running Highly Available Microsoft Workloads In AWS I remember when Storage Area Networks (SAN) were introduced in the late 1990s as a way to provide very fast access to storage from all connected servers. SANs became the storage technology to deliver clustered server solutions for high availability. It enabled a common shared database to be accessed by a failover server in the event a primary server failed. SANs, although fast, were expensive and difficult to set up and manage. Other solutions that used high-speed efficient replication technology to synchronize data between two servers became a popular lower-cost alternative to provide high availability. The Challenge Fast forward 20 years, SANs are simpler and less expensive to set up and manage and are a very common solution today when failover from one server to another is required to maintain application availability Service Level Agreements (SLA). Now many companies are looking to move workloads to the cloud to provide lower cost and higher availability. Are you planning to move a workload to the cloud? There is one thing many people don’t realize until they do the research. A shared storage SAN infrastructure is not available in the cloud. Cloud providers talk availability of 99.9% for the infrastructure, power, cooling, storage, network, compute – but not a word on application availability! If you require highly available applications and access to data in the cloud, you need to add a software-based high availability solution to your technology stack. The Solution Amazon Web Services (AWS) recognizes that additional solutions for high availability are required and has a special team focused on Microsoft workloads running in AWS. On July 11, AWS awarded SIOS their Microsoft Workloads Competency status within the AWS Partner Network. This differentiates SIOS as a partner that provides demonstrated technical proficiency and proven customer success with specific tools to monitor and recover applications and data with minimum operational impact, providing high availability for Microsoft workloads, and delivering solutions seamlessly on AWS. Take a few minutes to review the SIOS solution and AWS Quickstart on the AWS Marketplace.
