Benefits at a Glance

Easy to Use

AWS is designed to allow application providers, ISVs, and vendors to quickly and securely host your applications – whether an existing application or a new SaaS-based application. You can use the AWS Management Console or well-documented web services APIs to access AWS’s application hosting platform.

Flexible

AWS enables you to select the operating system, programming language, web application platform, database, and other services you need. With AWS, you receive a virtual environment that lets you load the software and services your application requires. This eases the migration process for existing applications while preserving options for building new solutions.

Cost-Effective

You pay only for the compute power, storage, and other resources you use, with no long-term contracts or up-front commitments. For more information on comparing the costs of other hosting alternatives with AWS, see the AWS Economics Center.

Reliable

Reasons Why We Chose AWS

Amazon Web Services (abbreviated AWS) is a collection of remote computing services (also called web services) that together make up a cloud computing platform, offered over the Internet by Amazon.com. The most central and well-known of these services are Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3.

AWS is a suite of hosting products that aims to take the headache out of traditional hosting solutions. Services like Dropbox and websites such as Reddit all use AWS. In Fact we feel that we are in a good neighbourhood by being on AWS.

AWS isn't just for the Dropboxes and Reddits of the world, though. You and I can host a couple of servers on AWS and quite efficiently too. We recently have been using AWS to host the web backend for an enterprise web application we built for the mortgage servicing industry, which usually runs on high traffic during the office hours and a bit of less traffic in the off hours

For transient events like this, AWS makes a lot of sense. The traffic is high during the day, and then will dwindle off, allowing us to manage the amount of server computation needed to host the backend without being tied into a yearlong contract, or paying for power we don't necessarily need.

I've compiled a few of our reasons for choosing AWS and explained them here. So let's dive in and see why AWS is better than the competition, for big and small users.

On the Go Pricing

Amazon took a refreshing approach to pricing its hosting when launching AWS. Every service is "a la carte", meaning you pay for what you use. This makes a lot of sense for server infrastructure, as traffic tends to be very bursty, especially the larger the site is.

Traditional hardware, for the most part, goes unutilized for 90% of its lifecycle. AWS helps deal with this problem by keeping it cheap during the slow times.

Consulting & Migration

If you are struggling with migrating to AWS or between cloud and on-premises environments, you are not alone. While you may think cloud migration is a seamless process, there are many factors that can go astray, such as downtime and data loss. Cloudly integrates our AWS managed services to provide a migration solution that will get you to cloud fast, while maintaining accessibility, business continuity, security, and uptime.

Managed Services

Are your hardware resources getting old? Are you worried about heavy investment for your server or network hardware refresh or large software licensing costs with Oracle, SAP or others? Think no more … Never buy another piece of hardware or software license again. Just pay as you go: Monthly or Yearly — as you like!

DR Solutions

Backup and Recovery

Amazon Web Services (AWS) storage solutions are designed to deliver secured, scalable, and durable storage for businesses looking to achieve efficiency and scalability within their backup and recovery environments, without the need for an on-premises infrastructure.

Disaster Recovery

Businesses are using the AWS cloud to enable faster disaster recovery of their critical IT systems without incurring the infrastructure expense of a second physical site. The AWS cloud supports many popular disaster recovery (DR) architectures from “pilot light” environments that may be suitable for small customer workload data center failures to “hot standby” environments that enable rapid failover at scale
