Amazon is a trail blazer in the public cloud computing market and is the world's top vendor of public cloud computing services. Amazon Web Services offers a broad selection of cloud services such as Elastic Compute Cloud for as-needed compute power for virtual servers, Amazon Simple Storage Service for instantly scalable high-performance storage, and Amazon Glacier for value-priced extended archival backup. These Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions enable businesses of any size to move some or all of their network infrastructure to the cloud, using a pay-for-use model to rein in capital investments while simplifying management hassle and shortening the time needed to roll out new apps.
Hybrid Cloud Integration
For the majority of organizations, utilizing public cloud products and services is assumed. The only question is how to find the right balance between cloud and local infrastructure. Many organizations run custom line-of-business apps which are difficult to migrate to the cloud. Performance-driven transaction processing applications may require on-premises systems to deliver maximum throughput. In addition, company culture or government and industry regulations could demand more direct control over certain IT resources than is possible with public cloud environments. In these and other cases, hybrid networks, which combine local and cloud resources, are frequently adopted as the best network model.
To make things even more complicated, Amazon AWS competes with other providers of cloud services such as Microsoft, whose Azure offerings include Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) options as well as a Platform-as-a-Service model optimized for Windows environments. Basically, careful research and planning is needed for any business to determine the appropriate cloud solution.
Progent's veteran system architects can assist your company to plan and implement a hybrid cloud strategy that incorporates Amazon AWS so that it maximizes business value. Progent can help you with every aspect of Amazon AWS migration and troubleshooting including needs analysis, readiness assessment, system design and review, pilot testing, configuration, centralized administration, performance tuning, licensing management, backup/restore solutions, and security and compliance. Progent offers advanced expertise with firewall configuration and VPN access and can show you how to deploy cloud-based or hybrid cloud environments that seamlessly incorporate Amazon AWS resources. Progent can provide occasional support or provide end-to-end project management outsourcing services to help you move smoothly to the Amazon AWS platform.
Popular Amazon AWS Cloud Services
The Amazon AWS family of cloud services offers dozens of infrastructure services that address computing, primary and archival storage, databases, analytics, mobility, application development, administration, Internet of Things, and cybersecurity, Amazon AWS services used by businesses of any size and for which Progent provides advanced support include:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, or Amazon EC2, is a virtual server hosting product that lets you configure, expand, and manage cloud-hosted virtual servers, known as EC2 instances. You can deploy any quantity of EC2 instances and you are charged only for the resources you use. You can control the server and the cluster-level features of a variety of OS platforms, deploy your cloud-hosted apps, and manage access permissions. You also manage your company's own software licenses under Amazon's Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model. You can utilize an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) template and deploy a virtual server instantly or you can create your own AMI that incorporates your applications, libraries, data, and configurations. Amazon EC2 can scale compute resources immediately to align with up or down spikes in workloads, eliminating the need for complex capacity management. You also can request multiple geographic locations for improved resilience and you can use fixed IP endpoints to accommodate your application environment.
Amazon Simple Storage Service, or Amazon S3, is a cloud-based storage service that provides low-latency storage for any volume of data. Amazon S3 expands or contracts easily and you are billed only for the capacity you need. Amazon S3 is often deployed as offsite storage for disaster recovery but is also well fitted for high-use applications, most notably Amazon's vast retail web. Amazon S3's interface can handle multiple storage types meant for different usage scenarios. These include S3 Standard for general-purpose storage of primary data, Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access for long-lived but rarely accessed data, and Amazon Glacier for archives. You can also define your own lifecycle parameters so your Amazon S3 data automatically and transparently migrates to another storage class without requiring 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 offer low-cost archiving and long-term storage for data that is rarely retrieved. Glacier does not deliver the low-latency of Amazon S3 storage and is not appropriate for online applications. 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 on-premises storage. Also, you can cut overall storage expense by specifying lifecycle rules to migrate groups of Amazon S3 objects automatically to Amazon Glacier. Amazon Glacier can also help companies to meet regulatory standards for archival data by offering ultra-reliable remote archiving with features that include periodic, systematic integrity checks and self-healing functions.
