Fast Company 2017
What a year 2017 was. In addition to our AWS Rising Star Partner of the Year award, we were honoured to receive additional awards placings – the Australian Financial Review Fast 100, CRN Fast 50 and Deloitte APAC Fast 500.
Each of these awards is measured differently, but all are based on business growth. The AFR Fast 100 (formerly known as the BRW Fast 100) is measured on three year average growth rate, the CRN Fast 50 is measured on single year growth rate, and the Deloitte APAC Fast 500 is three year cumulative growth rate.
We’re ecstatic to be recognised publicly for what we’re doing. Ultimately, this is a byproduct of what we aim to do – excellent work for our customers, every day.
Giving Back: Idea 11 donates to Children’s Cancer Institute
Every year over 950 Australian children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer. Every week nearly three Australian children and adolescents die of cancer. We think this is a tragedy. Children’s Cancer Institute of Australia has made great strides in medical research and their aim is to put an end to childhood cancer.
Why AWS Workspaces is the future of VDI
I don’t want to bury the lede here – I think AWS Workspaces is the future of hosted desktop platforms. I’m going to share why.
I spent an earlier part of my career designing, building, managing and fixing Citrix environments. Some of these were small, some of them large. Back then, Citrix was the right answer – often the only answer that would actually work – on how to deploy corporate Windows apps out to a distributed workforce. Other technologies emerged (VMware View) or got better (Microsoft RDS). Mostly they operate on similar principles with different implementation details.
