Amazon is a pioneer in the public cloud arena and is the industry's top vendor of cloud computing services. Amazon AWS offers a wide selection of cloud services such as Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for on-demand compute power for VMs, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for instantly expandable primary cloud storage, and Amazon Glacier for low-cost long-term archival backup. These Infrastructure-as-a-Service products enable businesses of all sizes to transfer some or all of their IT infrastructure to the cloud, using a pay-for-use model to rein in capital costs while simplifying administrative hassle and cutting the time needed to deploy new applications.
Hybrid Cloud Integration
For the majority of businesses, using public cloud services is assumed. The question is how to find the proper balance between cloud and on-premises resources. Many companies have custom line-of-business applications which are difficult to migrate to a cloud environment. Performance-driven transaction processing database applications may call for local hardware configurations to deliver maximum throughput. Also, company culture or government regulations may demand more direct control over key IT resources than is possible with public cloud environments. Consequently, hybrid architectures, which combine local and cloud-based resources, are frequently selected as the best 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 (IaaS) options and also a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) model optimized for Windows applications. Essentially, serious research and planning is required for any business to determine the appropriate cloud environment.

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

Key Amazon AWS Cloud Services
The Amazon AWS family of cloud products includes more than 70 infrastructure options that address computing, storage, databases, analytics, mobility, application development, management, Internet of Things, and cybersecurity, Amazon AWS cloud services used by organizations 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 allows you to provision, expand, and administer cloud-hosted virtual machines, referred to as EC2 instances. Subscribers can commission any number of EC2 instances and you are charged just for the resources you actually use. You can control the individual virtual server and the cluster-level functions of a variety of operating systems, add your cloud-hosted apps, and control access permissions. You also manage your company's own software licenses under Amazon's Bring-Your-Own-License model. You can utilize a standard Amazon Machine Image template and go online instantly or you can create your own AMI that incorporates your applications, libraries, data, and setup information. Amazon EC2 can expand or release compute capacity immediately to align with variations in usage, avoiding the hassle of complex capacity planning. You have the option of multiple geographic locations for high availability and you can request static IP addresses to work with your application requirements.
Amazon Simple Storage Service, called Amazon S3, is a cloud-hosted storage product that provides low-latency storage for any volume of data. Amazon S3 scales easily and you are billed only for the storage you utilize. Amazon S3 is often deployed as offsite storage for data protection but is also well fitted for high-demand applications, most notably Amazon's vast commercial web site. Amazon S3's interface can handle a range of storage classes intended for different usage scenarios. Examples include S3 Standard for general-purpose storage of frequently accessed data, Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access for long-lived but less frequently used data, and Amazon Glacier for archives. You can also define custom lifecycle policies so your Amazon S3 data automatically and transparently migrates to another storage category 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 designed to offer low-cost archiving and long-term storage for data that is infrequently accessed. Glacier does not deliver the performance of Amazon S3 cloud storage and is not suitable for online apps. But recovery time is glacially slow and can take hours, storage costs are lower than a penny per GB per month, which is less expensive than local storage. In addition, you can reduce overall storage costs by defining lifecycle rules to move groups of Amazon S3 objects automatically to Amazon Glacier. Amazon Glacier can also assist businesses to comply with regulatory standards for data retention by providing highly-dependable remote backup with features that include regular, systematic data integrity audits and self-healing functions.
