Carpathia Now Offers Amazon Web Services (AWS) Management

DULLES, Va., March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Carpathia, a leading provider of hybrid cloud services and managed hosting, today announced the availability of Carpathia's Cloud Operations Platform™ for Amazon Web Services, enabling enterprises globally to take advantage of Carpathia's expertise in managing all elements of a hybrid compute infrastructure. Carpathia also announced it is now a Consulting Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN) and a member of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Channel Reseller Program.

Carpathia's Cloud Operations Platform™ for AWS enables uniform management of AWS workloads in conjunction with Carpathia-hosted IT workloads. The management platform powers automated discovery, monitoring, management and operational support for IT workloads in the AWS cloud. A user of Carpathia's Cloud Operations Platform for AWS will be able to have their AWS workloads instantly recognized and managed like any other IT workloads managed by Carpathia.

Carpathia customers receive a consolidated portal view of both AWS cloud resources and dedicated and private cloud resources in Carpathia's data centers through a single pane of glass. Carpathia delivers this without restricting customers' ability to utilize AWS native or 3^rd party provisioning and orchestration tools. Customers can therefore implement the best combination of hybrid IT architecture to address their specific solution needs, while leaving management of IT workloads up to Carpathia.

"Enterprises are faced with expanding complexity associated with managing hybrid compute environments and those workloads that move between 3^rd party clouds, private clouds and hosted infrastructure," said Peter Weber, chief executive officer at Carpathia. "Carpathia's differentiation is managing complex infrastructure, and our Cloud Operations Platform is purpose-built for customers that seek to have a single service provider manage their entire hybrid compute infrastructure."

Gilt, a leading online retailer and flash auction website with complex, dynamic, mission-critical infrastructure underlying its engagement with its online customers is a long-time, existing customer of Carpathia. With a dedicated infrastructure managed by Carpathia, Gilt is taking advantage of Carpathia's Cloud Operations Platform for AWS. Gilt previously purchased its AWS compute separately from the services provided by Carpathia, but is now procuring AWS via Carpathia and using Carpathia's Cloud Operations Platform for AWS to maintain visibility of the entire hybrid implementation.

"Carpathia's willingness to work with Gilt to meet our needs, combined with the ability to seamlessly monitor and track our inventory of compute across a hybrid implementation with AWS, has caused Gilt to extend our relationship with Carpathia as a key IT partner," said Steve Jacobs, chief information officer at Gilt.

Enterprises can accelerate adoption of hybrid computing, because they now have a mechanism to track and monitor across multiple cloud environments knowing that Carpathia's Cloud Operations Platform for AWS will assist them in centrally managing their IT solutions. As a result, users are further enabled with greater agility to choose the best environment for their workloads based on availability, scalability, performance, price and location.

"Our customers have been seeking our assistance in addressing the complexities of hybrid infrastructure.  Particularly, assisting them with the management of workloads that move between 3^rd party public clouds and hosted infrastructures," said Philip Hedlund, vice president of business operations at Carpathia. "Carpathia's Cloud Operations Platform for AWS addresses those requirements and provides a platform for Carpathia to manage our customers' workloads on both ends of their hybrid infrastructure."

Carpathia's Cloud Operations Platform for AWS allows businesses to achieve the flexibility they need to meet their specific IT needs, optimize their resources and focus on other critical aspects of their core business.
