Amazon web services (AWS)

We regard AWS as the preeminent independent public cloud provider in Australia, distinguished by its legacy of innovation that influences the broader market of public cloud services. We anticipate that AWS will continue to set the global standard for organizational computing. Despite our long-standing partnerships with Oracle and Microsoft, our engagement with AWS is driven by its singular focus on cloud infrastructure services, devoid of major software dependencies. This specialization positions AWS as a leading platform for migrating database workloads from on premise systems and private clouds to AWS RDS or standalone EC2 virtual machines.

AWS clients often require expert management of Oracle and Microsoft SQL databases, a domain where we excel. We have successfully migrated over 100 databases, encompassing more than 30TB of data, to AWS.

Our services encompass the comprehensive management of database and application workloads on AWS, ensuring that backups are performed, validated, and functional, while continuously monitoring database availability and performance. Our extensive database expertise enables us to optimize configurations, apply patches, and upgrade both databases and their underlying server operating systems, thanks to our full System Administration capabilities for both Linux and Windows. Additionally, we possess substantial experience in migrating Oracle database workloads to alternative platforms such as Microsoft SQL.

Since our inaugural AWS client in 2010—operating over 30 EC2 instances running Red Hat for Oracle, Postgre SQL, and Tomcat—our proficiency has significantly expanded. We successfully executed the migration of an on premise SaaS solution servicing over 800 customers to AWS, managing intricate cutover and operational requirements. Not only can we facilitate your transition to AWS, but we also provide ongoing maintenance and optimization of your AWS environment, eliminating the need for in-house development of these specialized skills while continually seeking opportunities to optimize cloud operational costs.
