What is a Cloud Partner?
A cloud partner is your technical friend in disguise. These are the service provider B2B companies that help other B2B clients to foray their business by shifting the IT setup on the cloud network.
These partners study your existing system and provide consultation about moving to the cloud. They assess the expenses, benefits, and technical requirements for any of the cloud offerings. Your cloud partner would also design, migrate, and manage your IT assets on the cloud.
The cloud partners make the best use of the cloud by offering you IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS offerings apart from counseling for backup and disaster recovery.
Credentials of the Cloud Partners
Another point to add here is that these partners are not cloud vendors like Google Cloud, Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or IBM Bluemix. The partner firms tie-up with vendors after gaining certifications and proving their mettle. And these are the only authorized service providers you should trust when you opt for a cloud service.
Microsoft offers a partnership program called Microsoft CSP or Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider. Similarly, Amazon has APN or AWS Partner Network through which they accredit cloud partners fit to provide AWS services to the customers.
