Specialization in EC2 for Windows
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) offers scalable cloud capacity on the AWS platform, eliminating the need for hardware investments. This enables agile development and deployment of applications, allowing the execution of a flexible number of servers as needed, in addition to configuring network security and managing storage efficiently.
Why Choose Windows EC2 on AWS
Greater Reliability and Performance
AWS maintains the most comprehensive global infrastructure, with 77 availability zones distributed across 24 regions, ensuring 99.99% availability for each Amazon EC2 region. By migrating Windows workloads to AWS, customers can experience a 98% reduction in unplanned downtime, a 71% faster deployment, and a 26% increase in developer productivity.
Enhanced Security and Identity Services
AWS offers 230 services and resources dedicated to security, compliance, and governance, representing five times more options than the second-largest cloud service provider. The AWS Nitro System is the underlying foundation for EC2 instances. Its virtualization functions are offloaded to hardware and software, resulting in a reduced potential attack surface.
More Migration Expertise
AWS adheres to best practices and aims to assist individuals in achieving their migration goals as quickly as possible, offering tools and unique services for this purpose. Through a fast and secure approach, it is possible to migrate over 230,000 databases simultaneously, minimizing application downtime.
Broadest and Deepest Features
With over 350 types of instances available on Amazon EC2, AWS provides customers with superior and consistent network performance for their Microsoft applications.
Reduced TCO
By running Windows on AWS, customers can drive growth, achieve operational efficiencies, and obtain long-term cost reductions.
Flexible Licensing Options
With cloud options for new or existing software licenses, when purchasing instances that include licenses for Amazon EC2 or Amazon RDS, AWS provides new and compliant licenses for Windows Server and SQL Server.
Amazon EC2 with Windows Server offers an experience similar to using Amazon EC2 with any other operating system. It ensures exceptional integration across multiple availability zones present in all available regions.
