Amazon is a pioneer in the cloud arena and is the world's leading vendor of cloud computing services. Amazon AWS can provide a broad selection of cloud-based services such as Elastic Compute Cloud for as-needed compute capacity for VMs, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for instantly expandable high-performance storage, and Amazon Glacier for low-cost long-term backup and archiving. These Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) products allow organizations of all sizes to move some or all of their network infrastructure to the cloud, taking advantage of a pay-for-use model to minimize capital expenses while simplifying administrative overhead and slashing the time needed to roll out new apps.
Hybrid Cloud Integration
For most businesses, utilizing public cloud products and services is assumed. The only issue is how to strike the right trade-off between cloud and local resources. Many businesses run custom mission-critical apps which are not easy to migrate to a cloud environment. Performance-driven OLTP applications may require on-premises control to provided the highest possible throughput. In addition, corporate culture or government and industry standards could require more direct control over key IT resources than can be achieved with public clouds. Consequently, hybrid networks, which combine local and cloud-based resources, are frequently adopted as the best solution.
To make things even more complicated, Amazon AWS competes with other vendors of public cloud services such as Microsoft, whose Azure products include Infrastructure-as-a-Service options as well as a Platform-as-a-Service model specially tuned for Windows-based environments. Essentially, serious research and planning is needed for any business to select the appropriate cloud solution.

Progent can help your IT team with every phase of Amazon AWS integration including requirements analysis, readiness evaluation, system design and review, testing, configuration, administration, performance tuning, software license management, backup/restore solutions, and security.

Popular Amazon AWS Services
The Amazon AWS line of cloud-based services offers more than 70 infrastructure services that address computing, primary and archival storage, databases, Business Information (BI), mobility, application development, management, Internet of Things, and cybersecurity, Amazon AWS services used by organizations of all sizes and for which Progent provides comprehensive expertise include:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, called Amazon EC2, is a virtual server hosting product that allows you to configure, expand, and administer cloud-hosted virtual servers, known as EC2 instances. Subscribers can deploy any number of instances and you pay only for the capacity you use. You can manage the individual server as well as cluster-level features of a range of OS platforms, add your cloud-hosted apps, and control access rights. You also manage your company's own software licenses under Amazon's Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model. You can use a standard Amazon Machine Image (AMI) template and go online immediately or you can build your own image that includes your apps, libraries, data, and setup information. Amazon EC2 can expand or release compute capacity immediately to accommodate variations in usage, avoiding the need for sophisticated capacity planning. You also can request multiple host locations for improved resilience and you can use fixed IP addresses to work with your application requirements.
Amazon Simple Storage Service, called Amazon S3, is a cloud-based storage service that provides high-performance storage for any amount of data. Amazon S3 scales dynamically and you are billed only for the capacity you actually use. Amazon S3 is often implemented as remote storage for data protection but is also suited for high-use applications, most prominently Amazon's giant commercial web. Amazon S3's interface supports a range of storage types intended for various use scenarios. Examples include Amazon S3 Standard for general-purpose storage of primary data, Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access for persistent but less frequently used data, and Amazon Glacier for archives. You can also specify your own lifecycle parameters so your Amazon S3 data automatically and transparently migrates to a different storage class without requiring modifications to your applications. Amazon S3 can be used with Amazon EC2 VM hosting or as a standalone service.
Amazon Glacier is a cloud storage service intended to offer low-cost data archiving and long-term backup for data that is rarely accessed. Amazon Glacier does not deliver the performance of Amazon S3 storage and is not suitable for online applications. But recovery time is glacially slow and can take hours, storage costs are less than one cent per gigabyte each month, which is lower than on-premises storage. Also, you can reduce overall storage costs by defining lifecycle rules to migrate sets of Amazon S3 objects automatically to Amazon Glacier. Amazon Glacier can also assist companies to comply with regulatory requirements for archival data by providing ultra-dependable offsite archiving with features that include regular, systematic data integrity checks and self-healing functions.
