Describing CorpInfo as a company that helps clients create an IT infrastructure that meets their business objectives, Garden described how the 30-year-old company was “reborn in the cloud,” and now focuses on assisting its clients make the same transition. “Amazon has given us the tools to make that happen,” said Garden. A new addition to these tools is the Snowball storage appliance announced at re:Invent 2015, which Garden said addresses an area in which his clients have struggled in the past. “I think this is a great leap forward in helping our customers,” he said. The cloud is not another datacenter Garden talked about how he has seen CorpInfo’s enterprise clients make a change toward investing time and money into how they can benefit with AWS. He also explained that CorpInfo’s clients want to pass AWS more and more responsibility for their stack and are looking to discover how AWS can change the way they operate their business.
