This year's AWS Summit featured much buzz around cloud services and products, and one of the recurring stories was how partner services have been able to utilize AWS to provide definitive value to their clients. Alfresco is one of those companies and in a sit down interview on theCUBE, Luis Sala, Alfresco Director of Technology Alliances, shared his story on the tremendous growth and evolution of their services that has been made possible by their relationship with AWS. Once free from classic architectures and with the flexibility to expand and innovate, the company has basically rolled into a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering that is able to transverse different architectures. On-prem, pure cloud and hybrid scenarios are all part of Alfresco's DNA and with it they are afforded tremendous flexibility.
He went on in detail: "Over time we've discovered that 1) our technology lent itself very nicely to being deployed to AWS and 2), people are catching on to the idea of deploying our product to AWS."
Here is where Sala sees the beauty of AWS:
"Our product works really well there; we realized we could easily integrate S3 -- which has its own proprietary interface; we started demonstrating this to customers, people started deploying this and it took off like wildfire," boasted Sala.
Alfresco is rooted historically as an open source technology that has since evolved into the service it is today. It offers document management for enterprises that require tight security and control of their documents within their environments. Document management comes in all kinds of forms, but what makes Alfresco unique is how they have extended their product onto the AWS infrastructure, adding hybrid and pure cloud functionality that would work well with existing customers and new customers alike. Also, if a pure AWS customer wanted to integrate this, it is a ready-built option. That's the great success story for Alfresco — they've managed to utilize the AWS cloud proposition in textbook fashion, bridging classic architecture and classic product with cutting edge cloud advantages.
