More than 300 government agencies and 1,500 educational institutions are customers of Amazon Web Services, Fedscoop reports.
The online retail giant launched the web services business in 2006 and has ramped up its public sector offerings over the past two years, according to David Stegon’s report.
Teresa Carlson, vice president of the worldwide public sector, said at a Wednesday company summit in Washington that the “Cloud First” initiative in the U.S. and the European Cloud partnership are examples of how organizations want to move new and current business to a cloud computing environment, the report said.
Agencies and contractors use AWS’ GovCloud to move sensitive workloads into a cloud infrastructure by addressing individual regulatory and compliance requirements, according to Fedscoop.
