Capgemini brings Cloud Computing to the Enterprise
Capgemini has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to bring Cloud Computing to the Enterprise.
Capgemini’s new Cloud Computing Center of Excellence, initially focused on Amazon Web Services, assists organizations in integrating Cloud Computing into their IT and Business strategies, and in building and managing scalable, next generation infrastructure environments.
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing is the use of massively scaled offsite IT resources assembled virtually, accessed over the internet, contracted on demand in real-time or near real-time on a pay-per-use or subscription basis, where the workloads are shared among multiple customers.
What is Amazon Web Services?
Since 2006, Amazon Web Services has delivered scalable and dependable cloud-based compute power and storage to hundreds of thousands of customers. The AWS cloud supports any application platform and offers pay-as-you-go pricing, providing businesses with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness they need to deliver enterprise-class solutions. Amazon Web Services is an ideal environment for deploying high-performance computing, web applications and services, and mission-critical IT applications.
Why Reach for the Cloud?
Speed to Value: When conducting pilots for our clients, we have reduced deployment times by up to seventy percent.
Flexibility: Use AWS to scale infrastructure resources on demand, or develop a hybrid approach in which you maintain some fixed compute capacity in Capgemini or your own data centers while using AWS for additional infrastructure needs.
Cost Reduction: The shared use of Cloud Computing infrastructure yields economies of scale never before feasible with data center delivery.
CapEx Avoidance: IT spending is shifted from capital to operational expenditure.
Greener IT: The compute density, optimization, and capacity utilization of the AWS cloud is much higher than that of traditional data centers.

- How can I develop a cloud strategy for my Enterprise?
- How do I get started with Cloud Computing?
- What are the advantages of Cloud Computing?
- How will it bring my costs down?
- How will it help me accelerate speed to value?
- Which Enterprise applications can I move to the cloud?
- How rapidly can I move applications to the cloud?
- What services does Capgemini offer for the cloud?
