The ANOW! Automate integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides comprehensive automation and orchestration capabilities across the AWS cloud ecosystem. It enables bidirectional control and monitoring of AWS resources and workloads, ranging from data storage in S3 and RDS to compute with EC2, EMR, and Batch to advanced analytics and machine learning services such as Glue, SageMaker, and QuickSight. This integration is designed for financial services, manufacturing, and retail enterprises that manage complex, hybrid IT landscapes and seek to unify their cloud and on-premise operations.
ANOW! Automate delivers its cloud services as a SaaS offering on the AWS Marketplace. It connects to AWS services through two distinct endpoint types: the 'Amazon Web Services Endpoint' and the 'Amazon Web Services Common Endpoint'. The former defines connection details for AWS CLI-based interactions and supports Basic, Anonymous, and User Profile authentication. The latter specifies credentials for AWS SDK-based service interactions, using only Basic Authentication for tasks such as S3 object management and for initiating AWS Batch jobs and Step Functions. This dual-endpoint approach ensures robust and flexible connectivity to a broad spectrum of AWS capabilities.
This powerful integration is specifically tailored for senior IT executives, including CIOs, VPs of IT Operations, and IT Directors, who are tasked with modernizing hybrid IT landscapes, ensuring stringent compliance, and optimizing operational efficiency. It provides a strategic solution to mitigate business risk, achieve auditable compliance, and future-proof IT infrastructure by integrating seamlessly with existing mainframe investments while extending automation into the cloud.
