Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services is the cloud computing service platform designed and offered by Amazon.

Thanks to the wide range of services provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) – the cloud computing services platform designed and offered by Amazon – the skills and experience acquired by Sidea Group’s team of specialists can address all types of cloud solutions (IAAS or PAAS).

This way it meets every customer need: computing and storage, tools for migration, network and distributed content management, analysis services, artificial intelligence, internet of things and many others.

The main features of the services offered by AWS are scalability, speed and reliability. This allows AWS to be the undisputed leader of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for IaaS solutions.

AWS’ mission is to be “the most customer-oriented global company”. This is why it is the place where every person is free to build the platform they want without worrying about the risk of losing data and technical and economic problems.

Some services offered by AWS:

• Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Through Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), AWS offers computational computing services using virtual machines. The goal is to offer large computing power to companies that cannot sustain large initial investments.

• Amazon Simple Cloud Storage Service

Amazon Simple Cloud Storage Service (S3) offers the ability to store and recover huge amounts of data.

With this service, you can easily build applications that rely on native cloud storage. Since Amazon S3 is highly scalable and its rates are calculated on the resources actually spent, you can start with a basic solution and then expand the application according to your specific needs, without having to compromise on performance or reliability.

Amazon S3 is also designed to be highly flexible. You can store any type and volume of data, access data millions of times or only in case of disaster recovery, build a simple FTP application or a sophisticated web application such as the Amazon.com retail site. Amazon S3 allows developers to focus on innovation rather than data storage.

• Amazon Virtual Private Cloud

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) is the AWS service that allows you to create and manage networks similar to those of a traditional data center but with a high degree of customisation and control. Amazon VPC also offers solutions for direct connectivity of your corporate network or your private cloud network to the AWS network.

• How to use AWS services

All AWS services are extremely user-friendly, fully manageable through a single console and also accessible via mobile, greatly simplifying the work of users and developers.

The console is customisable, with quick links to the most frequently used services. You can optimise it by exploiting resource groupings for each application. Furthermore, AWS offers an extensive catalogue of freely available content where you can find training courses, case histories, tutorials and videos.

• Compliance and security

The entire AWS infrastructure, from data centers to the global network, is designed to ensure the highest possible security and data control, in order to comply with privacy and data protection regulations around the world. To protect the rights of European citizens, AWS complies with all EU directives and complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Finally, AWS offers its users different services and features for network and data infrastructure security through firewalls, encryption, secure connectivity, DDOS attack mitigation, and more.
