Salesforce has selected Amazon Web Services as its preferred public cloud infrastructure provider to deliver its Software-as-a-Service portfolio of core services - including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, App Cloud, Community Cloud and Analytics Cloud. Salesforce will spend $400 million on AWS services over the next four years, with the aim of leveraging the service to help bring new infrastructure online more quickly and efficiently. The company will also continue to invest in its own data centers.
Salesforce said that it will utilize AWS in select international markets, expanding on an existing strong relationship with the provider. Many Salesforce services, including Heroku, Marketing Cloud Social Studio, SalesforceIQ and the recently announced Salesforce IoT Cloud run on AWS infrastructure, added the company.
