Focus on innovation, not infrastructure
As organizations and their IT teams run an increasing number of applications at scale, they
are under growing pressure to ensure performance while operating within limited budgets.
Many organizations lack the technical and financial resources needed for managing and
scaling these applications while maintaining the speed of innovation, security, and availability.
Solving this conundrum clearly demands a transformative approach to infrastructure.
That transformative approach is cloud computing. The cloud enables organizations to
focus on their core business, improve performance of their applications, and build, run,
and scale more applications within their existing budget. No wonder cloud adoption is
experiencing astronomical growth with no signs of slowing down.
Even as organizations look to move more applications to the cloud, they still have
applications that need to reside on premises or at the edge due to requirements such as
low latency and data residency. They also need consistent tools, networking features,
virtual or dedicated hardware, data storage space, and flexibility and management
control over IT resources to allow them to focus on the deployment and management
of applications. In this eBook, you'll discover how Amazon Web Services (AWS) enables
customers to run virtually any application in the cloud with the best price performance
and offers customers the flexibility of running applications in a variety of ways—in
the cloud, on premises, and at the edge—ultimately helping them deliver quality user
experiences cost-effectively and at a global scale.
