SAP NS2
Strong partnerships provide better services He points out that no single entity could have achieved the seamless integration without the help of the others . “ We couldn ' t have done it alone . I don ' t think Verizon could have done it alone . I don ' t think AWS could have done it alone . So it really shows the strong partnership that we each bring to the table .” Working in such a symbiotic partnership with market-leading providers isn ’ t always so frictionless . But Sirene attributes the success of the collaboration to sheer market excellence . “ AWS is the market leader in the cloud business , and it ' s our largest partnership . We have a great relationship with them . It ' s very much mutually beneficial , and I think that ' s why the partnership works .”
AWS Outpost also provides solutions within the defence and intel space . It ’ s on-premise instances of cloud means companies can carry out complex actions close to their work location . It is this aspect , particularly , that has worked well for the DOD .
“ If you think of the DOD , a lot of their work is out of the field . They have troops deployed , and sometimes they might not have the quick comms to a data centre that is back in the United States . They also might be way overseas . So , Outpost is a really great tool for adding additional capability to those type of clients .” SAP NS2 is also collaborating on a pilot programme with the IoT , which is looking at how SAP NS2 could utilise IoT data on the edge to analyse and help the decision-making cycle faster and more towards the edge than the typical analysis cycle . “ Outpost is going to be critical in that effort ,” he says .
The idea is that the reduction in latency and the smaller distance the data has to travel increases security . “ We believe that it would be much more secure . We ' re also starting to think through how we might be able to put on some of the extra security layers that we ' ve built
