Just as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) enables storage in the cloud, Amazon EC2 enables “compute” in the cloud. Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment.
Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change. Amazon EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use.

Learn about the top 5 benefits of migrating to Cloud technology. While Cloud Computing is still very early in its evolution already a wide range of technologists and business managers see both the possibilities and benefits of this emerging shift in the information technology landscape.
Read on to learn the top five benefits that almost guarantee Cloud Computing will explode over the next several years.
Sure organizations must consider the possible security and privacy risks associated with Cloud Computing, but these are relatively easy to plan for and overcome. And the benefits to those who figure out how to mitigate these risks can be significant. Here are the top five to consider:
- Total Cost of Ownership. Since Cloud technology is priced on a utility model, organizations pay only for the CPU, memory, storage and bandwidth resources used. This can mean a significant reduction in TCO.
- Unlimited Storage Capacity. Enterprise data requirements continue to expand at an ever-increasing rate. With Cloud Computing organizations can store far more data than on their own private computing infrastructure.
- IT Automation. No longer do IT personnel need to worry about keeping software up to date. No longer having to worry about constant server updates and other computing issues, government organizations will be free to concentrate on innovation.
- Flexibility. Cloud computing offers much more flexibility than past computing methods.
- Mobility. Employees can access information wherever they are, rather than having to remain at their desks.

Flexibility is one of the key advantages of Amazon’s Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2) platform. You can provision computing resources instantaneously without the headache of setting up your own data center or even buying servers! The power of on-demand Cloud computing resources lies in the ability to provision (and release) resources quickly and affordably.
If you currently own your own computing infrastructure or are considering building out a new configuration, remember to consider all the “hidden” costs of ownership; servers, network equipment, rack space, etc., PLUS all of your operational costs such as power, cooling, system administration, etc. Also remember you will pay most of these costs regardless what percentage of capacity utilization you end up consuming!
Amazon’s EC2 model has helped many of our clients drive capital expense out of their IT operation, enabling large enterprises and startups alike mitigate the investment risk typically associated with business expansion.
