Is Amazon the new OS? | #reinvent
by Heather Johnson | Oct 9, 2015
Amazon AWS for the enterprise has become such the mainstay that Mike Dauber, general partner of early stage venture capital fund Amplify Partners, said that it’s practically become the new OS.
“If you’re starting a company, you need to look at how are you building on top of Amazon and how you partner with the ecosystem,” Dauber said. “You don’t want to run headlong into it. There’s still a place for Google Cloud and [Microsoft] Azure, but Amazon is far in the lead.”
Dauber and John Furrier, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, discussed Amazon’s solidified place in the enterprise market. Last year was its coming-out party. This year, at Amazon re:Invent 2015, the company made sure attendees knew it had a firm grasp of the market.
“With the advent of AWS, you don’t need $10 or 15 million to start an enterprise infrastructure company,” said Dauber. “You can do it with two or three.”
Amplify Partners backs technical entrepreneurs who have this vision. It recently announced a new fund — $125 million seed series A — for enterprise infrastructures.
