  • Driving Federal Mission Success: T-Rex’s Strategic Value as an AWS Advanced Tier Partner

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Advanced Tier is a top-tier designation in the AWS Partner Network. This designation signifies deep understanding of AWS services and a proven track record of customer success.

Federal agencies that leverage AWS Advanced Tier Partners benefit from faster digital transformation, measurable cost savings (up to 30% reduction in infrastructure spend), and improved system availability (up to 99.99% uptime), according to IDC research. Fewer than 15% of all AWS partners attain this Advanced Tier Partner status.

The T-Rex Advantage

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, Federal agencies are under increased pressure to modernize infrastructure, secure mission-critical data, and deliver enhanced services to citizens. AWS is a recognized leader in cloud technologies tailored for government use, but harnessing AWS’s full potential for Federal missions requires deep expertise and a proven approach. This is where working with an AWS Advanced Tier Partner like T-Rex, makes all the difference.

As an AWS Advanced Tier Partner, T-Rex delivers unmatched value to Federal agencies pursuing cloud modernization and digital transformation.

T-Rex consistently distinguishes itself by integrating deep Federal Enterprise knowledge with technical rigor and innovation. This unique combination enables T-Rex to provide cloud and IT services that are not only technologically advanced but also precisely tailored to the mission, compliance, and operational realities of Federal clients.

T-Rex Successes:

  • Agile, Mid-Tier Excellence: Over 25 years supporting Federal agencies with expertise in cloud adoption, application modernization, cybersecurity, and large-scale program delivery.
  • Proven Federal Impact: Served as the Prime Technical Integrator for the 2020 U.S. Census, a $1.6B program, architecting a secure, hybrid AWS GovCloud environment capable of supporting over 1.2 million concurrent users and processing data on 335 million residents.
  • Demonstrated Resilience: Thanks to a superior managed architecture implementation, AWS outages on October 20, 2025 caused by a latent defect in DynamoDB’s DNS had no impact on our Department of Education customer’s applications running on a multi-availability zone, multi-region architecture on critical workloads.
  • Zero Downtime, Zero Breaches: Integrated 24/7/365 Security Operations Center (SOC) services, achieving 100% uptime and no cyber incidents during Census operations – a standard of security and reliability critical for Federal missions.
  • Cloud at Scale: Migrated and managed more than 7,500 AWS EC2 servers across multiple GovCloud regions, while automating compliance for 165+ applications per NIST 800-53 requirements.
  • Comprehensive Federal Support: T-Rex supports a broad spectrum of agencies, including the Department of Defense, Department of Education, Census Bureau, and Treasury, among others.
