Accomplish Business Resilience with Intel | AWS Technologies
Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Intel have collaborated for over 17 years to develop flexible technologies and software optimizations tailored for mission-critical enterprise workloads. This collaboration allows AWS Partners to help their customers migrate and modernize their applications and infrastructure to manage cost and complexity, accelerate business outcomes, and scale to meet current and future computing requirements.
Why Intel and AWS
When migrating applications and data to the cloud, organizations often start with mission-critical workloads that consume the most resources on-premises and in data centers. Millions of companies, including large global enterprises, government organizations, and startups, trust AWS’ capabilities, reliability, and security, to run their most essential applications from edge to cloud – and accelerate their digital transformation. Many enterprise workloads run on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, and the ubiquitous nature of Intel, with its availability on AWS, reduces complexity in migration without the need for conversion or porting. By choosing Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances based on Intel technologies, customers around the world can confidently address business priorities, build new applications, and migrate existing applications to the cloud, knowing you are running on the same architecture you’ve trusted in your data center for decades.
Key Industries
AWS and Intel have partnered to create hundreds of purpose-designed solutions to meet the specific demands of many industries and sectors—including healthcare and life sciences, financial services, automotive, telco, public sector, and more.
Intel’s Team AWS includes a worldwide collection of dedicated industry experts who manage the technology advisory relationship for Intel’s strategic accounts within those industries.
Performance for Every Workload
Modern workloads can drive massive competitive advantage for all organizations. Whether it’s using business analytics, AI, or HPC to discover new insights, or hybrid cloud technologies to boost agility while reducing costs, or taking advantage of innovative, data-driven possibilities at the edge—AWS and Intel have created optimized, proven solutions for all those opportunities and more.
