Why Microsoft on AWS

When: Wednesday Oct 5, 2022
Program: 2 – 4 PM ADT
Happy Hour: 4 – 6 PM ADT
Location: The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse, 5136 Prince Street, Halifax

Join Amazon Web Services, CDW, and NorthBay Solutions to learn why AWS is the best cloud solution to run your Microsoft workloads!

For 10 years, AWS and NorthBay have been working together to help customers untangle the complex world of software licensing in the Cloud. AWS and NorthBay will discuss and demonstrate that a partnership with us offers a cost-effective and low-risk way to transition traditional on-premise workloads into the Cloud. Ultimately, this will build your confidence in choosing AWS as a preferred Cloud platform for Microsoft workloads.

Then you will interact with a group of panelists, discussing the “Art of the Possible” as you hear how customers transverse from legacy on-premise workloads or another Cloud offering onto AWS.

Finally, we look forward to getting to know you better with a fun and social LIVE happy hour.
