Number of Amazon Web Services partners that have already earned a new AWS competency – introduced last week - for consulting partners that help enterprise customers store a large amount of data in the public cloud. The seven are: Ahead, CorpInfo Services, Datapipe, HCL Technologies, Infiniti Consulting Group, Proact IT and REAN Cloud. This latest AWS badge accredits partners that have demonstrated "deep domain and consulting expertise" leveraging a variety of cloud storage solutions across four primary use cases: primary storage, archiving, backup and recovery, and business continuity, Jeff Barr, chief evangelist for AWS, wrote in a blog post.
