4. AWS, Security and MSPs: ChannelE2E has spent recent days telling you that a growing number of ISVs will promote their wares via Amazon Web Services. And those ISV-AWS relationships will plug into VAR and MSP dashboards. One potential example: Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is now available via the AWS marketplace... Watch for additional ISV-centric moves, designed for VARs and MSPs, to surface at the AWS re: Invent 2015 conference next week.
3. Next Week: We'll be tracking three key events next week. First, the MDM & Data Governance Summit -- a prime opportunity to learn about compliance and overall information management in the enterprise sector. Second, Gartner Symposium ITxpo in Orlando, where some big IT trends will take center stage. And finally, Amazon AWS re: Invent 2015 -- which will include a Partner Day. Track all of the daily event coverage using ChannelE2E's Event Topic Center.

ChannelEyes is taking a similar approach for channel leaders and channel account managers -- developing an application stack specifically for that user base.
