Salesforce to expand use of AWS to core
services for planned international infrastructure expansion
Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company
(NASDAQ:AMZN), today announced that Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the
Customer Success Platform and the world’s #1 CRM company, has
selected AWS as its preferred public cloud infrastructure provider.
For the first time, Salesforce will expand use of AWS to core
services—including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, App Cloud, Community
Cloud, Analytics Cloud and more—for the company’s planned
international infrastructure expansion.
Many Salesforce services, including Heroku, Marketing Cloud
Social Studio, SalesforceIQ, and the recently announced Salesforce
IoT Cloud, already run on AWS infrastructure. Salesforce will
utilize AWS to help bring new infrastructure online more quickly
and efficiently.
“We are excited to expand our strategic relationship with Amazon
as our preferred public cloud infrastructure provider,” said Marc
Benioff, chairman and CEO, Salesforce. “There is no public cloud
infrastructure provider that is more sophisticated or has more
robust enterprise capabilities for supporting the needs of our
growing global customer base.”
“Leading enterprises and ISVs around the world are migrating
their business-critical applications to the AWS Cloud to be more
agile and efficient, reduce costs, and take advantage of the
security, reliability, and broad functionality we offer,” said Andy
Jassy, CEO, AWS. “Companies rely on Salesforce to transform their
businesses and we are thrilled Salesforce has chosen AWS as their
public cloud infrastructure partner, helping them continue to
scale, add new services and maintain their incredible
momentum.”
