Last week, Amazon Web Services (AWS) held its 11th annual re:Invent event. The show is important for AWS customers as they learn about the latest and greatest innovations from the market leader in cloud computing. Another important part of the event is that attendees can be kept up to date on the updates from the massive ecosystem of technology partners that AWS has.
The 11th annual Amazon Web Services re:Invent is now in the books. This was the first fully attended re:Invent since the pandemic — 2021 had a capped audience — and I was curious to see how well-attended the event would be. The “about re:Invent” post, written prior to the start of the show, claimed “over 50,000,” but I heard that it may have been as high as 70,000, which is at pre-pandemic levels.
Earlier this year, Chase Center, home of the 7x NBA Champion Golden State Warriors, announced it would be the first sports venue to deploy Wi-Fi 6E. The latest standard of Wi-Fi runs on the 6 GHz spectrum and offers significantly faster speeds than Wi-Fi 6. The Warriors have partnered with Aruba Networks, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, to ensure high-quality Wi-Fi reaches every part of the venue as well as Thrive City, the entertainment and restaurant area that surrounds Chase Center.
This week the largest cloud computing vendor, AWS, is holding its 11th re:Invent conference. Given its leading position in Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), much of the news revolved around infrastructure.
Over the past few years, AWS has been offering a handful of SaaS services, one of which is its Connect contact center product, and the company announced several new capabilities to this solution.
One of the major focus areas for Amazon Web Services Inc.‘s 11th annual re:Invent conference this week is machine learning and artificial intelligence, and that focus comes as businesses are looking to use the technologies to analyze data and transform their organizations.
