Amazon is an innovator in the cloud arena and is the world's top provider of cloud services. Amazon AWS can provide a wide range of cloud-based services including Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for on-demand compute power for VMs, Amazon Simple Storage Service for dynamically scalable high-performance storage, and Amazon Glacier for value-priced long-term backup. These Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions allow businesses of all sizes to transfer some or all of their IT infrastructure to the cloud, taking advantage of a pay-for-use model to rein in hardware investments while reducing administrative hassle and shortening the time needed to roll out new applications.
Hybrid Cloud Solutions
For most organizations, using public cloud services is assumed. The question is how to determine the best balance between cloud-based and on-premises infrastructure. Many organizations run custom line-of-business apps which are tricky to migrate to a cloud environment. Performance-sensitive OLTP database applications may require on-premises hardware configurations to provided the highest possible throughput. Also, corporate policies or government regulations could require more control over key types of data than can be achieved with public cloud environments. Consequently, hybrid architectures, which integrate on-premises and cloud infrastructure, are commonly selected as the right solution.
To make things even more complicated, Amazon AWS is in competition with other vendors of public cloud services including Microsoft, whose Azure products include Infrastructure-as-a-Service options as well as a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) model optimized for Windows-based applications. Basically, careful research and planning is required for any business to select the best cloud solution.

Popular Amazon AWS Cloud Services
The Amazon AWS line of cloud-based services includes dozens of infrastructure options that address processing, primary and archival storage, databases, networking, mobility, software development, administration, Internet of Things (IoT), and cybersecurity, Amazon AWS cloud services popular with organizations of any size and for which Progent offers advanced support include:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, or Amazon EC2, is a virtual machine hosting product that allows you to provision, scale, and administer cloud-hosted virtual servers, known as EC2 instances. Subscribers can commission any quantity of instances and you pay only for the capacity you use. You can control the server as well as cluster-level features of a selection of OS platforms, add your cloud-hosted apps, and control access rights. You also administer your own software licenses according to a Bring-Your-Own-License model. You can use an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) template and deploy a virtual server immediately or you can create your own AMI that incorporates your apps, software libraries, data, and configurations. Amazon EC2 can scale compute capacity immediately to align with up or down spikes in usage, eliminating the need for complex capacity planning. You also can request multiple geographic locations for improved resilience and you can use static IP addresses to accommodate your application requirements.
Amazon Simple Storage Service, or Amazon S3, is a cloud-hosted storage product that provides low-latency storage for any volume of data. Amazon S3 scales easily and you pay only for the capacity you utilize. Amazon S3 is commonly deployed as remote storage for disaster recovery but is also well fitted for high-demand applications, most notably Amazon's giant retail web. Amazon S3's web service interface supports a range of storage types meant for different usage scenarios. These include 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 define custom lifecycle policies so your S3 data automatically and seamlessly moves to another storage category without requiring modifications to your apps. Amazon S3 can be integrated with Amazon EC2 VM hosting or as an independent cloud service.
Amazon Glacier is a cloud storage service designed to provide affordable data archiving and long-term backup for data that is rarely retrieved. Glacier does not deliver the low-latency of Amazon S3 cloud storage and is not suitable for real-time applications. Although restore time is slow and can take hours, storage costs are lower than a penny per GB per month, which is lower than on-premises storage. In addition, you can reduce overall storage expense by specifying lifecycle rules to move sets of Amazon S3 objects automatically to Glacier. Amazon Glacier can also assist businesses to meet regulatory standards for data retention by providing highly-dependable remote archiving with features that include periodic, automatic integrity checks and automatic self-healing capability.
