OCS Consulting for Amazon Web Services
What are Amazon Web Services?
Amazon Web Services are a set of services provided by Amazon, including S3 (Simple Storage Service) and EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud), 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 scaleable way.
S3 is a scaleable storage solution that makes storing files on the Internet easy. With it, you never have to worry about running out of disk space or making sure your data is redundantly accessible again!
EC2 provides powerful on-demand computing that can be scaled up or down as you need, while paying per hour for the use of virtual machine instances.
Why isn't everyone using AWS?
Because Amazon Web Services aren't really geared for traditional web applications, at least not with modifications. Since S3 can't be accessed via typical protocols like FTP, and EC2 doesn't provide static IP addresses or permanent storage, hosting a typical web application without changes entirely with AWS simply wouldn't work. That's where we come in!
Why use OCS for AWS Consulting?
OCS Solutions has been both using and helping our customers make use of Amazon's S3 (Simple Storage Service) and EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) services since their early limited beta period. We have an extensive amount of experience in adapting existing Internet technologies and practices into the new wave of infinitely scaleable solutions that Amazon offers through their web services division.
