What is a hyperscaler?
In a technology context, a hyperscaler refers to the industry-leading companies that provide massive and global cloud infrastructure and services. These hyperscalers have the capacity to handle enormous amounts of data, computing power, and network resources. You’ve heard of many of them, like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and IBM Cloud.
Hyperscalers are characterized by their extensive data centers, which are distributed worldwide, and their ability to rapidly expand their infrastructure to meet increasing customer demand. They offer a wide range of cloud services, and make it possible for organizations to build, host, and manage their applications and services in the cloud.
Working with hyperscalers as an independent software vendor (ISV) or other type of technology partner offers several advantages to fuel your growth. To start, you can leverage the hyperscaler’s infrastructure to scale your own applications and services, ensuring reliability and performance. Additionally, you gain access to a potentially massive customer base through the hyperscaler’s marketplace. This partnership also allows your company to focus on your core specialties, like innovation and development, versus infrastructure.
However, partnering with a hyperscaler requires careful planning, investment, and alignment with your broader organizational goals. It involves understanding and navigating the hyperscaler’s partner programs, adapting to evolving program changes, and investing in the necessary resources and technologies to maximize the benefits of your partnership with them.
Hyperscalers are industry giants in cloud computing, and they offer a vast variety of services to organizations and consumers worldwide. Partnering with hyperscalers can be a strategic move, enabling you to tap into global resources, expand your market reach, and accelerate your growth.
