What is AWS Report

I spend a lot of my time talking about AWS these days: it's at the heart of the services our company offers, but many savvy business people have never heard the term before. Taken literally AWS is an acronym for Amazon Web Services, but that doesn't really help to clarify what it is.

How to choose the right cloud provider Report

The promise of cloud technology has spawned tremendous innovation by some of the biggest, most powerful companies in the world. Choosing a cloud provider is a very important undertaking and not everyone can afford engaging a professional managed services team. Get it wrong, and you'll incur big costs, delays, and headaches; get it right, and you'll position your firm for a more scalable and profitable future. To make the right decision, it's critical to understand the differences among the top cloud providers.

Managed Services for AWS Report

One 'gotcha' I've experienced when discussing cloud ecosystems is that the term 'managed services' has drastically different meanings depending on the context. This is unfortunate as it adds extra effort to get to truly valuable conversations around the power of cloud. AWS itself offers to be an outsourced team for the same services offered above, however they usually stay out of the DevOps business.
