-- Outposts brings native AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models to 
virtually any data centre, co-location space, or on-premises facility

Sourced Group (Sourced), a leading global IT consultancy specialising in 
large-scale cloud transformations for regulated industries, is pleased to 
announce it has been selected as a global launch partner for AWS Outposts. AWS 
Outposts provides fully managed and configurable compute and storage racks 
built with Amazon Web Services (AWS)-designed hardware that allows customers to 
run compute and storage on-premises, while seamlessly connecting to AWS's broad 
array of services in the cloud.

As an AWS Premier Consulting Partner with a decade of experience, Sourced has 
been trained and vetted in delivering positive customer outcomes at scale 
through re-architecting complex workloads to run on AWS solutions. 

There are AWS customers today that have certain material workloads that may 
need to remain on-premises for several years, such as applications that are 
latency sensitive and require proximity to on-premises assets. These customers 
want to be able to run AWS compute and storage on-premises, and easily and 
seamlessly integrate these on-premises workloads with the rest of their 
applications in the cloud. Until now, customers lacked the same level of 
automation, APIs and the functionality across on-premises and the cloud to 
deliver a truly consistent hybrid experience. 

AWS Outposts solves these challenges by delivering racks of AWS compute and 
storage--the same hardware used in AWS public region data centres--to bring AWS 
services, infrastructure, and operating models on-premises. As an AWS Outposts 
launch partner, Sourced can help AWS customers overcome potential challenges in 
managing and supporting infrastructures both on-premises and cloud environments 
and deliver positive outcomes at scale.

"Sourced is proud to support AWS Outposts as a launch partner," says John 
Painter, VP, Strategy and Innovation, Sourced Group. "As a Premier Partner in 
the AWS Partner Network, our international team has an extensive track record 
helping large enterprises in regulated industries such as financial services, 
aviation, and healthcare achieve their technology goals by leveraging the 
agility, breadth of services, and pace of innovation that AWS provides."

"While our solutions are geared towards enabling clients to rapidly and 
securely adopt cloud, at scale, we recognise that some enterprises may require 
hybrid solutions for certain use cases. AWS Outposts provides these clients 
with an exciting opportunity to experience the flexibility and performance of 
AWS without extending beyond the data centre or making significant changes to 
their security posture."
