CloudZone, a Matrix company and leading Israeli Amazon Web Services partner, announced on Sunday a partnership with Anthropic, the AI company that developed Claude, to become an authorized reseller of its models in Amazon Bedrock, the AWS platform where developers can build and scale generative AI applications.
CloudZone, an Israeli company with more than a decade of experience, offers deep technological knowledge and comprehensive services, including cloud migration, AI, cost optimization, and DevOps
The partnership between CloudZone, a Google Premier Partner, and Anthropic will enable customers to gain early access to new model releases and features while leveraging the reliability and scalability of AWS infrastructure.
"The agreement with Anthropic represents a significant step forward in the service portfolio we provide to our customers," said Adi Heinisch, CEO of CloudZone.
"The combination of Anthropic's leading language models with the technical capabilities of Amazon Bedrock and our experts' close support will allow organizations to implement frontier AI solutions quickly, efficiently, and with full confidence," he added.
What are key aspects of this partnership?
The new partnership will also allow CloudZone customers access to their Claude products through a single local vendor with consolidated billing, eliminating the need to set up separate accounts.
It will also bring local, hands-on support in the customer's region and language for the Claude models, along with implementation guides on how to use them more efficiently.
The company also said that using Claude models through this mechanism may count toward the customer's AWS EDP (Enterprise Discount Program) commitments, thereby maximizing existing cloud investments.
Finally, the company explained, “For customers in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, government), CloudZone serves as a local, accountable vendor in the procurement chain, addressing data residency and local regulatory compliance questions.”
