With thousands of customers across the globe, Amazon Web Services serves some of the highest-profile companies. It’s easy to trust that a big corporation like Amazon will be the most secure, reliable provider for switching to the cloud, but this isn’t necessarily the best mindset to have. In recent years, there have been multiple Amazon incidents that might make you think twice about trusting AWS with your critical data and cloud transition.
AWS has recently had numerous high-profile outages (56 to be exact) despite its 99.9% uptime SLA. (CloudHarmony) It faced a major cloud service glitch that disrupted several major websites, and Bloomberg Businessweek reported that a hacker set up a cloud account with Amazon and used its servers to attack a 100 million user account, the Playstation Network. IT author, George Reese, has even stated that there could be a severe security risk by handing over control of data to Amazon. Since Amazon’s services include more than just cloud solutions, there are more ways for data to be exposed. Most companies have regulations or corporate standards governing their data security, and these organizations just can’t afford to risk it.
And if you’re looking for cloud computing guidance, management and support, you won’t find it with AWS. Unlike our white-glove service and full management options, AWS has a “Do It Yourself” mentality and lacks enterprise-grade support for all customers. Instead, customers are forced to upgrade their plan to receive support. There is little help given to those who are just entering the cloud world and very little attention given to small to mid-size organizations. So unless you’re one of the big guys, AWS probably isn’t the best fit.
At first, it might seem like the obvious choice to trust a big corporation like Amazon for your move to the cloud. But unless you’re ready to face the cloud by yourself with minimal guidance and likely outages, you’ll want to look elsewhere.
With our cloud solutions, your company can take advantage of full management, white-glove service and enterprise-grade support around the clock, and a 100% uptime SLA guarantee. We don’t share the same mentality that Amazon has. Instead, we take our “We Care” service and customer-focused approach very seriously, for companies of all sizes. We can work with you from the planning phase onward so you’re receiving the perfect cloud solution for your business needs.
