Computacenter : selected as official AWS Well-Architected partner

London, UK - 26. November 2018 - Computacenter, leading independent provider of IT infrastructure services and solutions, today announced that it has been selected as an official partner of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Well-Architected programme. The programme is designed to help AWS users build a secure, high-performing and efficient infrastructure for their applications. It enables authorised AWS Well-Architected partners to review and remediate customers' critical workloads through a consistent and repeatable AWS framework.

Computacenter forms part of a select number of technology partners across the globe, chosen by AWS to enrol in the Well-Architected Partner Programme. The framework provides a consistent approach for customers and partners to evaluate architectures and provides guidance to help implement designs that will scale with their application needs over time.

'We're very excited to be recognised as an official AWS Well-Architected partner,' says Kevin Stavers, Director for Platform & Hybrid IT at Computacenter. 'As AWS continues to rapidly evolve its technologies, it is essential that partners like Computacenter continue to invest in the skills to ensure our customers have the capabilities to optimise their cloud estates when available. Through this partnership, we can ensure customers are deploying their applications in a way that utilises the most up to date services, tools training and guidance to build and deploy cloud native architectures, understand and mitigate risks and make informed decisions better and faster than ever before.'

The AWS Well-Architected Framework includes strategies to help organisations compare workloads against AWS best practices, either before or after they have migrated to AWS, and obtain guidance to produce stable and efficient systems to enable them to focus on functional requirements.

The AWS Well-Architected Framework is based on five pillars:

1. Operational excellence
2. Security
3. Reliability
4. Performance efficiency
5. Cost optimisation

As an AWS Well-Architected Partner, Computacenter customers will benefit from the experience of our AWS consultants and architects and will gain important knowledge in how to develop Well-Architected applications related to each of the five pillars.
