SCPS, previously known as Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS)

With SCPS, Gartner defined as “standardized, automated, public cloud offerings integrating the following services:

• Infrastructure services (for example, computing, network, and storage)

• Transformation services (programs/resources that help customers adopt cloud-oriented IT delivery models).”

AWS is rated highest in performance, demonstrating its superiority in providing comprehensive cloud services, from computing features, storage, databases, to machine learning and IoT, and stands out with its rapid pace of innovation.

Reasons why AWS was named as a Leader from Gartner

According to the blog from AWS, Here are 03 main reasons for AWS's 13th success and recognition in the 2023 Magic Quadrant.

A large set of capabilities from AWS

AWS offers more cloud services and features than other providers, including compute, storage, databases, machine learning (ML), data analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

This enables faster, easier, and cheaper cloud migration for existing applications and new application builds. AWS has the deepest functionality in its services, such as multiple dedicated databases that are optimized for cost and performance.

This provider has more than 200 different services with a variety of features, technologies, industries and use cases for a variety of businesses. Customers can contact FPT Cloud Hub to receive our consultation of AWS Cloud Journey and Transformation.

AWS's rapid pace of innovation

AWS enables faster experimentation and innovation through the latest technologies.

They continuously accelerate the pace of innovation to invent new technologies for business transformation. For example, in 2014, they launched their serverless computing service – AWS Lambda, eliminating the need to provision and manage servers for developers.

In 2017, the AWS Nitro System was launched, combining specialized hardware and a lightweight hypervisor to deliver better performance, increased security, and cost savings for Amazon EC2 instances.

At re:Invent 2018, AWS Graviton was announced, a family of processors designed to deliver performance at the best price for your cloud workloads running on Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud (Amazon EC2), then, 2nd generations (Graviton 2), Graviton 3, 3E and now Graviton 4.

In the recent re:Invent 2023, AWS had a total of 178 new updates to its features, services, and products.

And today, AWS continues to innovate with general artificial intelligence (AI) services like Amazon Q or Amazon CodeWhisperer, your coding productivity tools available in our integrated development environment (IDE) and on the command line (CLI).

AWS's large community of users and partners

AWS has a large, active community with millions of customers and tens of thousands of partners globally.

Customers across nearly every industry and scale use AWS for a variety of applications. The AWS Partner Network includes thousands of system integrators specializing in AWS and tens of thousands of independent software vendors (ISVs) adapting their technology to AWS.

In Vietnam, one of the reputable partners that has supported more than 100 customers in choosing AWS is FPT Telecom International (FTI), an advanced consulting partner with leading capabilities in Vietnam in connection infrastructure, deployment capacity and consulting on Networking services and solutions.

AWS Global Infrastructure

Customers also benefit from AWS with a global infrastructure, covering 33 regions and constantly expanding, for example, AWS recently announced four new regions in Malaysia, New Zealand, Thailand and AWS European Sovereign Cloud .

An AWS region is a physical location in the world where we have multiple Availability Zones.

Availability zones consist of one or more separate data centers, each with redundant power, network, and connectivity, located in separate facilities.

Unlike other cloud providers that often define a region as a single data center, having multiple AZs allows you to operate production applications and databases with higher availability, fault-tolerant, and more scalable than is possible from a single data center.

This affirms AWS's position and long-standing experience in building global infrastructure, bringing reliable and effective cloud solutions to customers.
