Community-Crafted Enterprise AWS
The Internet2 NET+ AWS program features both a full-featured contract with a partner focused on customer success and a community of practice that will effectively expand your cloud team to help you become masters of your own success as you scale your use of AWS.
NET+ AWS offers two contract choices – the longtime contract with TD SYNNEX and a new contract with Four Points Technology. Both agreements provide a number of benefits designed for the needs of the research and education community, including Internet2 affiliates.
