AWS provides the networking, storage, access control, and management capabilities to enable hybrid architectures.
Simplify the migration and management of applications by integrating your on-premises environments with the AWS Cloud. With the broadest and deepest set of functionality of any cloud provider, AWS offers the most integrated networking, security and access controls, data integration and life-cycle management, and resource and deployment management capabilities to make your hybrid architecture successful.
Johnson & Johnson deployed a seamless network architecture between AWS and their on premises data centers.
Comcast built a hybrid app for their Xfinity service that runs across AWS and their on premises data centers.
MLBAM built a hybrid app for real time player tracking statistics that runs across AWS and on premises data centers.
AON built a hybrid architecture to support their risk mitigation forecasts that simulate millions of potential scenarios.
Hess migrated IT infrastructure to the AWS Cloud for divestiture, while staying hybrid for core businesses.
Pacific Life Insurance looked to AWS to help control its IT costs as part of a hybrid computing environment.
Flexible network connectivity is a cornerstone of integrating distributed environments, including AWS and your existing on-premises equipment. AWS can extend your on-premises network configuration into your virtual private networks on the AWS Cloud. AWS resources will operate as if they are part of your existing corporate network. You can also extend your physical connectivity, which provides dedicated, consistent, private networking between your data center and the AWS regions of your choice. AWS allows you to seamlessly integrate your existing infrastructure with the elastic, scalable resources available in the AWS Cloud.
Within your logically isolated network, Amazon VPC provides complete control over your virtual networking environment, including selection of your own IP address range, creation of subnets, and configuration of route tables and network gateways.
Using AWS Direct Connect, you can establish a dedicated network connection between AWS and your datacenter, office, or colocation environment. In many cases, this can provide both lower costs and a higher level of service than Internet-based connections.
Once your architecture is connected to the cloud, AWS can ensure this data is reliably backed-up, help control where data is placed, replicate data across geographic regions, manage the lifecycle of data, or even have datacenter topology close enough to enable synchronous replication.
AWS helps simplify the backup and recovery environment for the enterprise. Leverage the on-demand nature of the cloud and automate backups and recovery processes so they are not only less complex and lightweight, but also easy to manage and maintain. Storage services with AWS are designed to provide 99.999999999% durability, so you can feel confident your backups are protected.
The AWS Storage Gateway’s software appliance is available for download as a virtual machine (VM) image that you install on a host in your datacenter. Once you’ve installed your gateway and associated it with your AWS Account through our activation process, you can use the AWS Management Console to create either Gateway-Cached or Gateway-Stored storage volumes that can be mounted as iSCSI devices by your on-premises applications.
Amazon S3 provides a highly durable, scalable, and secure storage infrastructure that is well-suited for backing up and archiving your critical data. The service redundantly stores data in multiple facilities and on multiple devices within each facility.
Amazon Glacier is an extremely low-cost storage service that provides secure and durable storage for data archiving and backup. In order to keep costs low, Amazon Glacier is optimized for data that is infrequently accessed and for which retrieval times of several hours are suitable.
Adopting cloud computing doesn’t require a new identity management strategy. You can create and manage AWS users, groups and use permissions to allow and deny access to AWS resources.
Additionally, AWS has managed services that allows you to connect your AWS resources with an existing on-premises Microsoft Active Directory or to set up a new, stand-alone directory in the AWS Cloud.
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) supports identity federation for delegated access to the AWS Management Console or AWS APIs, such as an Amazon S3 bucket or an Amazon DynamoDB table. By integrating your on-premises identity management and AWS, you can quickly implement single sign-on (SSO), addition/deletion of users, and fine-grained AWS resource access using your existing identity management solution.
AWS Directory Service is a managed service that allows you to connect your AWS resources with an existing on-premises Microsoft Active Directory or to set up a new, stand-alone directory in the AWS Cloud. Connecting to an on-premises directory is a simple process.
All AWS services are driven by robust APIs that allow for a wide variety of monitoring and management tools to integrate easily with your AWS Cloud resources. Common tools from vendors such as Microsoft, VMware, BMC Software, Okta, RightScale, Eucalyptus, CA, Xceedium, Symantec, Racemi, and Dell already support AWS, and that’s just naming a few.
AWS OpsWorks is an application management service that makes it easy to deploy and operate applications in the AWS Cloud or in your own data center. You can define the application’s architecture and the specification of each component, including package installation, software configuration, and resources. Start from templates for common technologies like application servers and databases, or build your own to perform any task that can be scripted.
Additionally, OpsWorks' integration with Amazon CloudWatch allows you to use a single tool to create alarms or scale servers/instances based on CPU, memory, and load metrics in a hybrid environment.
AWS CodeDeploy is a service that automates code deployments to instances, both in AWS and on-premises, making it easier for you to rapidly release new features, avoid downtime during deployment, and handle the complexity of updating your applications. AWS CodeDeploy eliminates the need for error-prone manual operations, and the service scales with your infrastructure so you can easily deploy to one instance or thousands.
