Jan. 20, 2021
The move enables Ignition users to run AWS infrastructure and services on-premises.

Inductive Automation announced that it has achieved the AWS Outposts Ready designation, part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Service Ready Program. This designation recognizes that Inductive Automation has demonstrated successful integration with AWS Outposts deployments. AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent hybrid experience. 

Achieving the AWS Outposts Ready designation differentiates Inductive Automation as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member with a product fully tested on AWS Outposts. AWS Outposts Ready products are generally available and supported for AWS customers, with clear deployment documentation for AWS Outposts. AWS Service Ready Partners have demonstrated success building products integrated with AWS services, helping AWS customers evaluate and use their technology productively, at scale and varying levels of complexity, according to Inductive Automation. 

“Customers are looking for ways to make their production plants run more efficiently using sensors and machine learning,” said Joshua Burgin, general manager of AWS Outposts, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “We are delighted to welcome Inductive Automation to the AWS Outposts Ready Program. Inductive Automation can help these customers modernize their plant operations using cloud services, and do it with the low latency these customers need, by running Ignition on AWS Outposts at the plant location.”

“We’re very proud to achieve AWS Service Ready status,” said Travis Cox, co-director of sales engineering for Inductive Automation. “We’re ready to help organizations achieve their technology goals by leveraging the agility, breadth of services, and constant innovation from AWS.”

To support the seamless integration and deployment of AWS Outposts Ready solutions, AWS established the AWS Outposts Ready Program to help customers identify products integrated with AWS Outposts and spend less time evaluating new tools, and more time scaling their use of products that are integrated with AWS Outpost deployments.
