Consulting For Amazon Web Services (AWS)
AWS (Amazon Web Services) are a set of services provided by Amazon, including S3 (Simple Storage Service) and EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud Computing), provided to developers and web service providers that allow them to take advantage of Amazon’s large datacenter infrastructure in a pay-as-you-go, infinitely scalable way.
Our aws consulting allows you to leverage this unique and powerful cloud infrastructure with your existing websites and applications and provides support for both server and cloud-level issues that may arise.
Our Amazon Web Services consulting engineers are 100% US based!
Common Amazon Web Services (AWS) Consulting Tasks
- Relational Database Service: With RDS (or in standalone EC2 instances), we can configure MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL servers for incredible performance, durability, and availability. We also work with No-SQL databases, including MongoDB and DynamoDB, and caching technologies like ElastiCache (Redis & Memcached).
- Elastic Load Balancer: Take advantage of Amazon’s Elastic Load Balancer to distribute traffic among multiple EC2 servers, improving performance and reliability. Not just any application can be load balanced out of the box, but our engineers can assist with any necessary modifications.
- Simple Email Service: Sending email on the Amazon Cloud is a bit different than traditional server setups. We can help you integrate mail delivery into your site or application via SMTP or the SES API, solve delivery issues, or automatically handle bounces. We also offer secure email services.
- Create a Custom AMI: By creating a custom Amazon Machine Image, you can clearly define your environment and reduce future setup and migration times dramatically.
- VPC Configuration: Amazon Web Service’s VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) platform allows you to fully manage your own networking resources. We recommend this for nearly every AWS deployment.
- Multi-Service Orchestration: Often multiple AWS services are used in concert to deliver a solution. Our engineers consider your entire application and account and help you get the best return on your AWS cloud investment.
How Our Consulting Works
We can work in a wide variety of ways with you and your team. We can perform all of the server administration, management, deployment, and support needs for you, or just provide per-incident support assistance, or a mix of it all. You’re in control with our Amazon Web Services consulting.
Though our consulting service is truly custom in nature, we do tend to follow this general workflow with a new client:
- Initial Assessment: We discuss the details of your project and provide an estimate of the expected initial engagement cost.
- In-Depth Analysis: We then examine your current infrastructure and devise a plan based on recommended best practices.
- Implementation: If you desire, we can either help your team implement the plan, or perform all the work for you.
- Support & Maintenance: We then assess your ongoing needs to devise a maintenance package that best suits your needs and budget.
