Claranet signs five year contract with AWS

Cloudy Claranet has signed a five-year agreement with AWS which will see it certify more than 1,200 cloud experts and set up a global Cloud Centre of Excellence.

Claranet migrated its first customer to AWS in 2013 and became a premier-level Services partner and a Managed Services Provider partner with the vendor in 2016. It migrated more than 500 customers to AWS by 2020.

Claranet says it will develop solutions in its Innovation Lab to provide businesses with cutting-edge technology in cloud, data and security.

Our experts have been supporting organisations for over 10 years in their journey to the AWS Cloud. With this agreement, Claranet and AWS are working together to help customers realise the full promise of the cloud: enhanced innovation, joint investment in new offerings, and enhanced capabilities that will enable our customers around the world to accelerate and simplify their cloud transformation.”
