Atayo Achieves AWS EC2 for Windows Service Delivery Partner Status

Atayo is pleased to announce that we have achieved Amazon EC2 for Windows Service Delivery Partner status within the AWS Partner Network. This designation recognizes Atayo's demonstrated technical proficiency and proven track record of customer success in designing, migrating, deploying, and managing Microsoft-based workloads on Amazon Web Services.

What This Designation Means

The AWS Service Delivery Program is designed to identify and validate partners who have deep expertise in specific AWS services. To earn the EC2 for Windows designation, Atayo underwent a rigorous technical validation process conducted by AWS — including architecture reviews, customer reference checks, and demonstration of operational best practices specific to Microsoft workloads running on AWS infrastructure.

This isn't a self-reported certification. AWS independently verified that Atayo meets the bar for delivering production-grade Microsoft solutions on their platform.

Capabilities Validated by AWS

As part of the validation process, Atayo demonstrated expertise across the full lifecycle of Microsoft workloads on AWS:

• Assessment & Planning — Evaluating existing Microsoft environments, identifying migration candidates, and building business cases for moving Windows workloads to AWS.
• Migration Execution — Leveraging AWS Application Migration Service and proven runbooks to migrate Windows Server, SQL Server, and .NET applications with minimal downtime.
• Deployment & Configuration — Configuring EC2 Windows instances with optimized instance types, licensing options, networking, storage, and integration with AWS Managed Microsoft AD.
• Optimization & Management — Right-sizing instances, implementing Reserved Instance strategies, automating patching through AWS Systems Manager, and managing ongoing operations.

Why It Matters for Our Clients

Working with a validated Service Delivery Partner means you're not taking a chance on unproven capabilities. When Atayo engages on a Microsoft-on-AWS project, our clients benefit from:

• AWS-validated methodology — Our approach has been reviewed and approved by AWS, reducing risk on complex migration and deployment projects.
• Access to AWS resources — As a Service Delivery Partner, Atayo has direct access to AWS product teams, advanced diagnostic capabilities, and escalation paths that aren't available to non-validated partners.
• Proven customer outcomes — The designation requires demonstrated customer success — real projects, real results, verified by AWS.
• Architectural best practices — Every engagement follows AWS Well-Architected principles specific to Microsoft workloads, ensuring security, reliability, and cost efficiency.

Leadership Perspective

"Achieving EC2 for Windows Service Delivery Partner status validates what our team has been delivering for years — enterprise-grade Microsoft solutions running on AWS. This designation gives our clients confidence that when they trust Atayo with their Windows workloads, they're working with a partner that AWS has independently verified. It's a meaningful differentiator in a market where many claim Microsoft-on-AWS expertise but few have been validated by AWS themselves."
