“Who is CorpInfo? “ asked Stu Miniman as he welcomed Stephen Garden, VP of Cloud for CorpInfo, to theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Amazon re:Invent 2015 in Las Vegas.

Describing CorpInfo as a company that helps clients create an IT infrastructure that meets their business objectives, Garden described how the 30-year-old company was “reborn in the cloud,” and now focuses on assisting its clients make the same transition. “Amazon has given us the tools to make that happen,” said Garden.

A new addition to these tools is the Snowball storage appliance announced at re:Invent 2015, which Garden said addresses an area in which his clients have struggled in the past. “I think this is a great leap forward in helping our customers,” he said.

The cloud is not another datacenter

Garden talked about how he has seen CorpInfo’s enterprise clients make a change toward investing time and money into how they can benefit with AWS. He also explained that CorpInfo’s clients want to pass AWS more and more responsibility for their stack and are looking to discover how AWS can change the way they operate their business.

In 50% of his engagements, the people he has worked with come back six months later and tell him that their role has changed from dealing with daily repetitive tasks to being able to use their skills to innovate. “The cloud is no longer just another data center; it is about making systems work in a different way,” he said.
