Amazon is an innovator in the public cloud arena and is the industry's leading provider of cloud services. Amazon Web Services offers a wide selection of cloud-based services including Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for on-demand compute capacity for VMs, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for instantly scalable high-performance storage, and Amazon Glacier for value-priced extended backup and archiving. These Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions 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 rein in capital costs while reducing management hassle and shortening the time required to roll out new applications.
Hybrid Cloud Integration
For most organizations, utilizing public cloud products and services is assumed. The question is how to achieve the appropriate balance between cloud and local infrastructure. Many organizations have developed custom line-of-business apps which are tricky to adapt to the cloud. Performance-driven OLTP applications may call for on-premises hardware configurations to provided maximum throughput. In addition, corporate policies or government standards may require more control over certain types of data than is possible with public clouds. Consequently, hybrid architectures, which integrate on-premises and cloud infrastructure, are frequently adopted as the right network model.
To make things even more complicated, Amazon AWS competes with other vendors of cloud services including Microsoft, whose Azure products include Infrastructure-as-a-Service options and also a Platform-as-a-Service model specially tuned for Windows-based applications. Basically, serious research and planning is needed for any organization to determine the appropriate cloud solution.

Popular Amazon AWS Services
The Amazon AWS family of cloud-based products includes dozens of infrastructure services that cover processing, primary and archival storage, databases, networking, mobility, application development, administration, IoT, and security, Amazon AWS cloud services used by businesses of all sizes and for which Progent offers comprehensive expertise include:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, or Amazon EC2, is a virtual server hosting product that allows you to provision, scale, and administer cloud-hosted virtual servers, referred to as EC2 instances. Subscribers can commission any number of EC2 instances and you pay only for the resources you actually use. You can control the individual server as well as the cluster-level features of a variety of OS platforms, deploy your cloud-hosted applications, and manage network access rights. You also administer your company's own software licenses under a Bring-Your-Own-License model. You can utilize an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) template and go online instantly or you can build a custom AMI that includes your applications, libraries, data, and configurations. Amazon EC2 can expand or release compute capacity on demand to accommodate up or down spikes in usage, avoiding the need for complex capacity planning. You can specify separate host sites for improved resilience and you can use fixed IP endpoints to work with your application environment.
Amazon Simple Storage Service, or Amazon S3, is a cloud storage service that offers high-performance storage for any volume of data. Amazon S3 expands or contracts easily and you pay only for the capacity you actually use. Amazon S3 is often implemented as remote storage for disaster recovery but is also appropriate for high-demand applications, most notably Amazon's giant retail web. Amazon S3's web service interface supports multiple storage classes intended for various usage scenarios. These include Amazon S3 Standard for storage of frequently accessed data, Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access for long-lived but seldomly accessed data, and Amazon Glacier for archives. You can also specify your own lifecycle parameters so your S3 data automatically and transparently moves to another storage class without requiring changes to your apps. Amazon S3 can be integrated with Amazon EC2 or as an independent cloud service.
Amazon Glacier is a cloud-based storage service intended to provide low-cost data archiving and long-term storage for data that is infrequently accessed. Amazon Glacier does not offer the low-latency of Amazon S3 storage and is not suitable for real-time apps. But recovery time is slow and can take hours, storage costs are lower than a penny per GB per month, which is less expensive than local storage. Also, you can reduce overall storage costs by specifying lifecycle rules to migrate groups of Amazon S3 objects automatically to Amazon Glacier. Amazon Glacier can also help businesses to comply with regulatory standards for data retention by offering highly-reliable offsite backup with features like periodic, systematic integrity checks and automatic self-healing capability.
