23. • Companies are having to purchase and provision ever more storage
• This storage often needs to be replicated for high availability
• More primary storage means that mid-tier disk backup solutions are filling up faster
• This is then putting an increased burden on tape backup solutions
• Tape is time consuming and expensive
• Branch offices are also creating more data that needs to be managed
Companies are forced to make large upfront capital investments just to keep this
problem under control

• Recently used documents are kept
local for performance, unused
documents are tiered to the cloud
• No more capacity planning
• Storage Gateway means that departments
can have their own storage device that
scales into the cloud
• Reduces pressure on corporate NAS
devices
• Snapshots can remove the need for backups
27. Tape Replacement
• Adds additional client side
encryption
• No more capacity planning
• No more tapes
• Devices like Riverbed Whitewater can
provide a Gateway to Glacier
• Deduplication of 10x to 30x reduces costs
further

79. • We are seeing increasing demand for AWS to support our customers in their
journey to the cloud
– AWS sells great services, via a self service model
– But……..we don’t sell Consulting, Migration or Managed services
– This is where we need value added partners

delivering business value to our joint customers
80. • A services led company – usually with a dedicated cloud practice
• Has multiple value added services around the AWS portfolio:
• For example - Managed Services, Migration services, Consolidation, Apps Development,
Apps Migration, Consulting Services etc
• Has strong technical skills around AWS
• These factors normally lead to a strong engagement between the partner and
the AWS sales and technical teams
– Good sales alignment
– Good technical cooperation
• Most importantly, leads to project wins
81.
82. • AWS is split on a vertical basis
• Verticals are:
– Media – including Broadcasters, Publishers, Advertising and Gaming
– Retail
– Pharma and Life Sciences
– Telco
– Energy and Utilities
– Financial Services
– Manufacturing
– General and Commercial
– Public Sector & Charities
• We operate on a named account list
83. • Each vertical consists of current and whitespace accounts
• Our sales team have more customers and prospects than they have time
• We need to work with our partners to drive opportunity and activity in both
whitespace and existing accounts
• We need more partners with strong value added skills
84. • Be valuable to our customers
– Have good technical and sales knowledge of AWS services
– Get yourself and your people Accredited – both Sales and Technical
– Get your technical people onto our onsite training courses
• Get them certified

workload to AWS
