Amazon is a trail blazer in the public cloud computing market and is the world's leading vendor of public cloud computing services. Amazon AWS can provide a wide selection of cloud services including Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for on-demand compute capacity for virtual servers, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for dynamically scalable high-performance storage, and Amazon Glacier for low-cost extended backup. These Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions enable organizations of all sizes to transfer some or all of their IT infrastructure to the cloud, taking advantage of a pay-for-use model to minimize capital expenses while simplifying management overhead and slashing the time needed to roll out new apps.
Hybrid Cloud Solutions
For most businesses, using public cloud products and services is assumed. The question is how to find the proper balance between cloud-based and on-premises infrastructure. Many companies have legacy mission-critical applications which are not easy to adapt to a cloud environment. Performance-sensitive transaction processing database applications may require on-premises systems to deliver the highest possible throughput. Also, company culture or government and industry standards may demand more control over key types of data than can be achieved with public cloud environments. Consequently, hybrid networks, which combine local and cloud-based resources, are often adopted as the right solution.
To complicate things further, Amazon AWS is in competition with other vendors of public cloud services including Microsoft, whose Azure offerings include Infrastructure-as-a-Service options and also a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) model optimized for Windows environments. Essentially, careful evaluation is required for any business to select the best cloud solution.
Progent's veteran system architects can assist your company to define and implement a hybrid cloud environment that includes Amazon AWS in a way that optimizes business value. Progent can help your IT team with every phase of Amazon AWS integration including requirements analysis, readiness evaluation, architectural design and review, testing, deployment, administration, performance tuning, licensing management, disaster recovery mechanisms, and security. Progent can provide advanced expertise with firewall configuration and VPN access and can help you deploy all-cloud or hybrid cloud ecosystems that efficiently incorporate Amazon AWS services. Progent can provide occasional support or deliver comprehensive project management outsourcing or co-sourcing to help you move efficiently to the Amazon AWS platform.
Popular Amazon AWS Services
The Amazon AWS line of cloud-based products includes more than 70 infrastructure options that cover computing, primary and archival storage, databases, networking, mobility, enterprise applications, administration, Internet of Things (IoT), and cybersecurity, Amazon AWS services popular with businesses of any size and for which Progent offers advanced support include:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, or Amazon EC2, is a virtual machine hosting service that lets you provision, expand, and manage cloud-based virtual machines, referred to as EC2 instances. Subscribers can deploy any number of instances and you pay just for the capacity you actually use. You can control the server and cluster-level functions of a selection of operating systems, add your hosted applications, and control access rights. You also manage your own software licenses based on a Bring-Your-Own-License policy. You can utilize a standard Amazon Machine Image template and go online instantly or you can create your own image that incorporates your apps, software libraries, data, and setup information. Amazon EC2 can scale compute capacity on demand to align with variations in workloads, eliminating the hassle of complex capacity management. You also can request separate geographic sites for improved resilience and you can use static 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 amount of data. Amazon S3 scales dynamically and you are billed only for the storage you need. Amazon S3 is often implemented as remote storage for data protection but is also appropriate for high-use applications, most notably Amazon's giant commercial web site. Amazon S3's interface supports a range of storage types meant for different usage cases. These include Amazon S3 Standard for general-purpose storage of frequently accessed data, Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access for persistent but rarely used data, and Amazon Glacier for archives. You can also specify your own lifecycle policies so your Amazon S3 data automatically and seamlessly migrates to a different storage category without requiring modifications to your apps. Amazon S3 cloud storage can be integrated with Amazon EC2 or as an independent service.
Amazon Glacier is a cloud storage service designed to offer low-cost archiving and long-term storage for data that is rarely retrieved. Amazon Glacier does not deliver the performance of Amazon S3 cloud storage and is not suitable for real-time applications. But restore time is glacially slow and can take hours, storage costs are less than a penny per gigabyte each month, which is lower than local storage. Also, you can cut overall storage costs by specifying lifecycle rules to move groups of Amazon S3 objects automatically to Amazon Glacier. Amazon Glacier can also help businesses to meet regulatory requirements for data retention by offering highly-dependable offsite backup with features that include periodic, systematic data integrity audits and automatic self-healing capability.
