G2 Technology Group Achieves the Life Sciences Competency Status in The AWS Partner Network Competency Program

    BOSTON, MA, November 03, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- G2 Technology Group, a technology infrastructure consulting firm specializing in AWS (Amazon Web Services) cloud computing and hybrid IT engagements has been awarded the Life Sciences Competency in the AWS Partner Network (APN) Competency Program for demonstrating exceptional technical proficiency and proven customer success in Life Sciences.

Of the company's recent success in attaining the Life Sciences Competency, G2 Technology Group CEO Glenn Grant said, "The all-around need for expert solution architects on the Amazon Web Services platform has been steadily increasing for some time; however the demand for this expertise in the Life Sciences space has been growing exponentially. Tackling these workloads is an entirely different beast and our customers have seen tremendous value from having true expertise in architecting AWS solutions. We architect Life Science workloads with a special blend of 'outside the box' solutions while still maintaining an 'inside the box' view with respect to compliance and security. For example, our client, Courtagen Life Sciences required innovative thinking when developing a high available auto scaling stack for genomic research, however at the same time needed to maintain strict compliance with regard to HIPAA and PHI data. We're extremely proud to receive the Life Sciences Competency."

G2 Technology Group specializes in AWS HIPAA deployments and has a Business Associates Agreement in place with AWS. In another example, G2 engaged with VerbalCare, a HIPAA compliant patient centered care platform hosted on AWS. VerbalCare required help migrating to HIPAA compliant dedicated Amazon EC2 instances for which G2 architected a HIPAA compliant multi-tier infrastructure alongside a robust code deployment strategy. In addition, for high availability and disaster recovery, G2 created and executed compliant strategies for backup/restore, monitoring and archiving.

The Life Sciences Competency achievement will allow G2 to continue to contribute to the field of Life Sciences by providing customers with complete Cloud services on Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ: AMZN).
