Deploy resources by using virtualization and resource management tools.
Increase resource utilization by using application management and virtualization technologies.
Resources are fully kept in-premises by using virtualization and resource management tools.
Hybrid deployment
Connect cloud-based resources to on-premises infrastructure.
Integrate cloud-based resources with legacy IT applications.
If there is a need to keep some application in-premises due to the impossibility of migration or privacy concerns, a hybrid approach may be better to met the requirements of the applications and get the benefits of the cloud.
Why would a company choose to use certain cloud computing to met business needs?
Trade upfront expense for variable expense: When taking a variable expense approach, the company limits the initial cost of running IT resources and assures the efficiency of paying only for the resources they need.
Stop spending money to run and maintain data centers: The benefit of cloud computing is the ability to focus more on applications and customers instead of focusing on maintaining servers and infrastructure.
Stop guessing capacity: Instead of predicting future infrastructure needs, adapt accordingly with the cloud.
Benefits from massive economies of scale: By using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower variable cost than you can get on your own.
Increase speed and agility: Instead of first getting the ability to test certain scenarios and ideas by demanding more company infrastructure, experiment with AWS cloud computing on-demand tools.
Go global in minutes: The global footprint of the AWS Cloud enables you to deploy applications to customers around the world quickly, while providing them with low latency.
