ServiceNow applications will be available on Amazon Web Services Marketplace as part of a five-year strategic collaboration agreement between the two companies. ServiceNow and AWS will also co-develop AI business applications focused on industries.
AWS re:Invent is an overwhelming barrage of features, services and launches that fly by so fast you can miss a lot of things that could drive real business value.
To that end, here are a some of the announcements that team Constellation Research thought were interesting even if they didn't get all the attention that Amazon Q, SageMaker, Graviton, Trainium and Inferentia get. These items were dropped by AWS CEO Adam Selipsky in passing while others hit the wires ahead of the lead keynote.
Among the more than 200 announcements slated for #AWSreinvent 2023, new Zero-ETL integrations with Amazon Redsift and AI Recommendations for Amazon DataZone were two data-related announcements that caught my eye. Both were announced by Amazon Web Services CEO Adam Selipsky during his November 28 keynote address.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise saw strong intelligent edge and high-performance computing and AI revenue growth in the fourth quarter, but its legacy compute and storage businesses struggled.
Workday reported better-than-expected third quarter earnings and raised its outlook for the fiscal year.
The cloud HR and finance application company reported third quarter earnings of 43 cents a share on revenue of $1.87 billion, up 16.7% from a year ago. Subscription revenue for the quarter was up 18.1% from a year ago. Non-GAAP earnings were $1.53 a share.
Amazon Web Services made the case at re:Invent that it should be your complete AI stack with Amazon Q, a horizontal generative AI tool that will be embedded throughout AWS and backed up with Amazon Bedrock and infrastructure for model training and inference powered by Trainium and Inferentia processors.
Amazon Web Services launched Graviton4, its custom chip for multiple workloads, with big improvements over last year's Graviton3. AWS also launched the latest versions of its Trainium and Inferentia processors, two GPUs that may be able to bring the price of model training down.
The takeaway: AWS plans to push its custom silicon cadence to gain more workloads even as it partners with big guns such as Nvidia, Intel and AMD.
Monday night, Nov. 27, at Re:Invent 2023, AWSâ Peter DeSantis, SVP of Utility Computing, announced two important database features: Amazon Aurora Limitless Database and Redshift Serverless AI Optimizations. Here's my analysis.
Alianza and Amazon Web Services (AWS) signed a multi-year partnership to enable traditional communication service providers to deliver and monetize voice and cloud communications services.
Amazon Web Services launched Amazon One Enterprise, a palm-based identity service that aims to make palm-reading a mainstream way to enter buildings, improve security and verify credentials.
AWS said Amazon One Enterprise is being used by Boon Edam, IHG Hotels and Resorts, Paznic, and KONE. The service is in preview in the US and pricing wasn't immediately available. Amazon One Enterprise's FAQ is worth checking out for various details on enrollment, security and device setup.
Amazon Web Services rolled out Braket Direct, a service that allows researchers to procure dedicated private access to quantum processing units from providers such as IonQ, Oxford Quantum Circuits, QuEra, Rigetti, or Amazon Quantum Solutions Lab.
I'm excited to be live from AWS re:Invent 2023 in Las Vegas This year's event is packed with announcements about the leading-edge of cloud computing and the hot topic of the year, generative AI. It's also rife with opportunities for cloud professionals to learn and grow. From a CIO perspective, I'm particularly interested in the keynotes, innovation talks, and builder labs to show where the AWS as a platform is heading for IT leaders.
Amazon Web Services and Salesforce expanded their partnership in a deal that will put Salesforce applications on AWS Marketplace, integrate Amazon Bedrock into Salesforce's ecosystem and better connect Salesforce Data Cloud to AWS services.
Fiona Tan, CTO of Wayfair, said alignment between business and technology is critical--especially when navigating a demand surge and a pivot to efficiency. The key to navigating the change is to have a platform mindset.
This Thanksgiving I'll be thankful that I won't have to care (even slightly) about who is running OpenAI. The saga is over (until it isn't). Sam Altman is back as OpenAI CEO.
You really can't make this up. But you can question who is driving a technology as important as generative AI. For now, any enterprise customer of OpenAI can stop wondering if the company and its APIs will exist.
On X, Altman said (punctuation his):
