Cloud Services
WWCS Partners
Amazon Web Services
The promise of the Cloud is real. Now there are methods for provisioning, measuring, and managing information technology (IT) infrastructure in a virtual environment. The Cloud also allows for scalable, elastic resourcing in a variety of deployment models. Virtualize and pool server, storage, network and management resources. Add IT capabilities when and where you need it. Be agile and flexible in technology. Not all Cloud applications are created equal however. But with our Cloud solution, we provide careful planning and operational considerations to ensure sound business decisions are still at the core of your cloud strategy. We know the cloud is a business and operational model, not a just a technology or stand-alone strategy.
WWCS will implement a Cloud Solution using Amazon Web Services (AWS). The AWS Cloud provides a broad set of infrastructure services, such as computing power, storage options, networking and databases that are delivered as a utility: on-demand, available in seconds, with pay-as-you-go pricing. From data warehousing to deployment tools, directories to content delivery, over 90 AWS services are available. New services can be provisioned quickly, without upfront capital expense. This allows enterprises, start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses, and customers in the public sector to access the building blocks they need to respond quickly to changing business requirements.
WWCS has experience in implementing the following solutions
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) contains the basic building blocks for cloud IT and typically provide access to networking features, computers (virtual or on dedicated hardware), and data storage space. IaaS provides you with the highest level of flexibility and management control over your IT resources and is most similar to existing IT resources that many IT departments and developers are familiar with today.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS) removes the need for your organization to manage the underlying infrastructure (usually hardware and operating systems) and allows you to focus on the deployment and management of your applications. This helps you be more efficient as you don’t need to worry about resource procurement, capacity planning, software maintenance, patching, or any of the other undifferentiated heavy lifting involved in running your application.
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS) provides you with a completed product that is run and managed by the service provider. In most cases, people referring to Software as a Service are referring to end-user applications. With a SaaS offering you do not have to think about how the service is maintained or how the underlying infrastructure is managed; you only need to think about how you will use that particular piece of software. A common example of a SaaS application is web-based email which you can use to send and receive email without having to manage feature additions to the email product or maintain the servers and operating systems that the email program is running on.
