ATLANTA and SEATTLE, Nov. 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Racemi, a provider of automated server migration software that streamlines the process of migrating workloads to public clouds, today announced that it has been selected by 2nd Watch, Inc., a global leader in building and deploying Amazon Web Services based IT operations for the enterprise, for on-boarding customers to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing platform.
2nd Watch is an AWS Premier Consulting Partner that manages more than 60,000 cloud computing instances for mid-size and enterprise companies and provides services from initial consulting and planning to implementation and on-going maintenance.
"Our role is helping our clients take advantage of cloud computing to run their business more efficiently and cost-effectively, so Racemi's technology for fast, automated migrations is a great fit for us," said Kris Bliesner, CEO and co-founder, of 2nd Watch. "We have completed 300-plus platform and data center migrations and guarantee 99.99 percent uptime on Amazon Web Services and are proud that our customers experienced zero business impact throughout the entire year."
Racemi's server imaging technology quickly migrates data even between dissimilar physical, virtual or private cloud platforms, reducing the on-boarding process from days to minutes.
Racemi software captures the entire server stack--including operating system, applications, and configuration--and automatically converts it to run on AWS by applying the necessary tools and drivers during the migration process. Existing workloads are migrated in their time-tested configuration.
"With our software, strategic partners like 2nd Watch can streamline project timelines while having better control over the migration process and the ability to predict their operational costs so they can run their business more efficiently and serve customers better," said Lawrence Guillory, CEO, Racemi.
2nd Watch was founded in 2010 and provides complete services to its clients, including strategy and consulting, cloud migration, managed services, and custom cloud-based software development.
