Amazon is a trail blazer in the public cloud arena and is the world's top vendor of cloud computing services. Amazon Web Services can provide a wide range of cloud services such as Elastic Compute Cloud for as-needed compute capacity for virtual servers, Amazon Simple Storage Service for dynamically expandable primary cloud storage, and Amazon Glacier for value-priced extended backup. These Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions enable organizations of all sizes to transfer some or all of their network infrastructure to the cloud, using a pay-for-use approach to rein in capital investments while simplifying management hassle and slashing the time required to deploy new apps.
Hybrid Cloud Solutions
For the majority of businesses, utilizing public cloud services is assumed. The only question is how to find the appropriate balance between cloud and on-premises resources. Many businesses have developed legacy mission-critical apps which are not easy to migrate to a cloud environment. Performance-sensitive OLTP applications may call for on-premises control to provided maximum throughput. Also, corporate culture or government and industry standards could require more control over certain types of data than can be achieved with public clouds. In these and other cases, hybrid networks, which combine local and cloud-based infrastructure, are often selected as the best solution.
To make things even more complicated, Amazon AWS is in competition with other providers of cloud services such as Microsoft, whose Azure products include Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) options and also a Platform-as-a-Service model optimized for Windows environments. Essentially, careful evaluation is needed for any organization to determine the right cloud solution.

Popular Amazon AWS Cloud Services
The Amazon AWS family of cloud-based products offers more than 70 infrastructure options that cover computing, primary and archival storage, databases, Business Information (BI), mobility, software development, management, IoT, and cybersecurity, Amazon AWS cloud services popular with businesses of any size and for which Progent offers comprehensive support include:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, called Amazon EC2, is a virtual server hosting service that allows you to configure, expand, and manage cloud-based virtual machines, referred to as EC2 instances. Subscribers can commission any number of instances and you are charged just for the resources you use. You can control the VM as well as cluster-level functions of a selection of OS platforms, add your hosted apps, and control network access permissions. You also administer your own software licenses under a Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model. You can use an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) template and deploy a virtual server instantly or you can create your own AMI that incorporates your apps, software libraries, data, and setup information. Amazon EC2 can scale processing resources on demand to accommodate up or down spikes in workloads, avoiding the need for complex capacity planning. You have the option of separate host sites for improved resilience and you can request fixed IP endpoints to work with your application requirements.
Amazon Simple Storage Service, or Amazon S3, is a cloud storage product that offers high-performance storage for any amount of data. Amazon S3 expands or contracts easily and you are billed only for the storage you consume. Amazon S3 is commonly implemented as offsite storage for disaster recovery but is also well fitted for high-demand applications, most prominently Amazon's giant commercial web. Amazon S3's interface supports multiple storage types intended for different use cases. These include S3 Standard for storage of primary data, Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access for persistent but infrequently used data, and Amazon Glacier for long-term archives. You can also specify your own lifecycle policies so your S3 data automatically and seamlessly migrates to another storage category without forcing you to make changes to your applications. Amazon S3 can be used with Amazon EC2 VM hosting or as an independent cloud service.
Amazon Glacier is a cloud-based storage service intended to provide affordable archiving and long-term storage for data that is infrequently accessed. Glacier does not offer the low-latency of Amazon S3 cloud storage and is not suitable for online apps. Although restore time is glacially slow and can take hours, storage costs are less than a penny per gigabyte each month, which is less expensive than local storage. In addition, you can cut overall storage costs by defining lifecycle rules to migrate groups of Amazon S3 objects automatically to Glacier. Amazon Glacier can also assist companies to comply with regulatory standards for data retention by providing highly-reliable remote archiving with features like periodic, systematic integrity checks and self-healing functions.
