Amazon EC2 For Microsoft Windows Servers
At Firemind, we make familiar Windows services even easier to use, via Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) running Microsoft Windows Servers, offer a secure, reliable, and high-performance environment for deploying Windows-based applications and workloads. We’ll help you provision instances quickly, and scale up or scale down as you need it, while only paying for what you use.
Overview
Using Amazon EC2 with Windows Server is similar to using Amazon EC2 with any other operating system. Amazon EC2 running Windows Server provides seamless integration with existing Amazon EC2 features. Features such as Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), Amazon CloudWatch, Elastic Load Balancing, and Elastic IPs. We ensure that Windows instances are available in multiple Availability Zones, across all Regions.
Amazon EC2 makes it easy to start and manage your Windows-based instances. Amazon EC2 provides you with several pre-configured AMIs that allow you to start running instances in minutes, as opposed to days.
You can manage your Amazon EC2 resources using the AWS web service APIs. AWS provide the AWS SDK for .NET that enables you to call AWS infrastructure services (e.g. – Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon SQS, and more) programmatically, so that you can build and deploy your applications within .NET.
So, why Windows on AWS?
2x higher performance for a SQL Server workload than the next largest cloud provider.
2x more regions available with multiple availability zones than the next largest cloud provider.
36% savings (on average) using AWS over three years, by right-sizing instances with the AWS Migration Evaluator.
442% projected 5-year return on investment (ROI), running Windows on AWS. According to an IDC report within the last 5 years.
