What value does AWS bring to the higher education sector?
AWS has unmatched experience, maturity, reliability, security, and performance. Internally, we say that there's no compression algorithm for experience, and that's because you can't learn certain lessons until you get to different milestones in scale. With millions of active customers every month, AWS has many times the usage of other cloud providers who just haven't learned those lessons yet.

Who are the institutions/organisations that AWS is currently working with?
We work with practically every university in the sector at a variety of levels. We have successfully migrated institutions at scale: UNSW, University of Newcastle, Curtin and are at a stage of maturity or project with many other institutions.

Opportunity for CAUDIT Members to engage - Does AWS have an offer for CAUDIT Members?
We are working with CAUDIT to confirm a Members only offer that will provide best service at economical pricing.
