Amazon is a trail blazer in the cloud arena and is the world's leading provider of cloud computing services. Amazon AWS can provide a wide range of cloud services such as Elastic Compute Cloud for on-demand compute power for virtual servers, Amazon Simple Storage Service for instantly scalable high-performance cloud storage, and Amazon Glacier for low-cost extended backup and archiving. These Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) products enable businesses of any size to transfer some or all of their IT infrastructure to the cloud, taking advantage of a pay-for-use model to rein in hardware costs while reducing administrative overhead and slashing the time required to roll out new applications.
Hybrid Cloud Solutions
For the majority of businesses, using public cloud products and services is assumed. The only issue is how to achieve the proper balance between cloud-based and local resources. Many businesses have legacy line-of-business applications which are tricky to adapt to a cloud environment. Performance-driven OLTP applications may call for local control to deliver maximum throughput. Also, corporate policies or government and industry regulations may require more control over key types of data than can be achieved with public cloud environments. In these and other cases, hybrid architectures, which combine on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure, are often adopted as the right network model.
To make things even more complicated, Amazon AWS is in competition with other vendors of cloud services including Microsoft, whose Azure products include Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) options as well as a Platform-as-a-Service model specially tuned for Windows-based applications. Essentially, careful research and planning is required for any business to determine the best cloud solution.
Progent's seasoned solution designers can assist your company to define and configure a hybrid cloud environment that includes Amazon AWS in a way that optimizes business value. Progent can assist your IT team with every phase of Amazon AWS integration including needs analysis, readiness evaluation, system design and review, pilot testing, deployment, administration, performance optimization, licensing management, backup/restore solutions, and security and compliance. Progent can provide advanced expertise with firewalls and VPN connections and can show you how to create cloud-centric or hybrid cloud networking models that efficiently integrate Amazon AWS cloud services.

Popular Amazon AWS Cloud Services
The Amazon AWS family of cloud-based services includes dozens of infrastructure options that cover computing, primary and archival storage, databases, networking, mobility, software development, administration, IoT, and security, Amazon AWS services popular with businesses of all sizes and for which Progent provides comprehensive expertise include:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, called Amazon EC2, is a virtual machine hosting service that lets you provision, scale, and administer cloud-hosted virtual machines, referred to as EC2 instances. Subscribers can deploy any number of instances and you are charged just for the capacity you actually use. You can control the individual VM and the cluster-level features of a variety of operating systems, add your hosted applications, and control network access permissions. You also administer your own software licenses under a Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model. You can utilize an Amazon Machine Image template and deploy a virtual server instantly or you can create your own image that incorporates your applications, libraries, data, and configurations. Amazon EC2 can expand or release compute capacity immediately to accommodate variations in usage, avoiding the hassle of complex capacity management. You can specify separate host locations for high availability and you can use fixed IP endpoints to work with your application environment.
Amazon Simple Storage Service, called Amazon S3, is a cloud-hosted storage service that offers low-latency storage for any volume of data. Amazon S3 scales easily and you are billed only for the capacity you actually utilize. Amazon S3 is often deployed as remote storage for data protection but is also suited for high-use applications, most prominently Amazon's giant retail web. Amazon S3's interface supports multiple storage classes intended for various use cases. These include S3 Standard for general-purpose storage of frequently accessed data, Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access for long-lived but rarely accessed data, and Amazon Glacier for archival data. You can also define your own lifecycle parameters so your Amazon S3 data automatically and transparently migrates to another storage category without requiring modifications to your apps. Amazon S3 can be integrated with Amazon EC2 or as an independent cloud service.
Amazon Glacier is a cloud storage service intended to provide low-cost data archiving and long-term backup for data that is seldomly accessed. Amazon Glacier does not deliver the performance of Amazon S3 cloud storage and is not appropriate for real-time applications. But recovery time is slow and can take hours, storage costs are less than a penny per gigabyte each month, which is less expensive than on-premises storage. In addition, 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 assist businesses to meet regulatory standards for archival data by offering highly-dependable offsite archiving with features like regular, automatic integrity checks and automatic self-healing capability.
