pixitmedia¹, a Kalray company, has announced today that it has been accepted into the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Accelerate Program, a co-sell program for AWS Partners who provide software solutions that run on or integrate with AWS. The program helps partners drive new business and accelerate sales cycles by connecting the participating ISVs with the AWS Sales organization.

pixitmedia’s acceptance into the AWS ISV Accelerate program enables the company to meet customer needs through collaboration with the AWS Sales organization. Close collaboration with the AWS Sales team enables pixitmedia to provide better outcomes to AWS customers, as AWS ISV Accelerate Partners and the AWS team work together.

pixitmedia is a trusted solution provider in the Media & Entertainment industry specializing in storage and data management allowing customers to accelerate their journey into the Cloud.

The acceptance into the program cements pixitmedia’s position as a valued global AWS partner and industry enabler of cloud-enabled production workflows. pixstor offers AWS customers an agile storage environment that guarantees adaptability and performance, coupled with the power of pixitmedia’s ngenea, that quickly and securely transports data to and from globally distributed cloud, object storage, and traditional NAS files. Together pixitmedia and AWS are a formidable force when servicing creative processes in the cloud.

“Being selected by Amazon Web Services as a member of the ISV Accelerate Program is a strong recognition of our current momentum within the Media & Entertainment Industry. As our products are selected more and more by leading media companies worldwide, we are committed to providing our joint AWS customers ease of use, greater collaboration and seamless workflows.

We are looking forward to driving more growth and new business whilst delivering the best value and choice for our customers.’’ Paul Cameron, Senior Vice President of Sales, Kalray.
