As announced in July, Alphaus made a successful foray into the Singapore market, servicing Cloud Comrade, the first Singapore headquartered AWS Premier Consulting Partner. Alphaus addresses the increasing challenges that Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Enterprises face in the emerging cloud market.
