What is AWS for Windows?

Secure Reliable High-Performance Familiar Cost-Effective Extensive

Optimization for Windows-based workloads

Wide range of scalable services

Alignment with business needs

AWS for Windows is Secure

“Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon

VPC) gives us a secure environment in the

AWS Cloud with the flexibility and scalability

we need to manage our SharePoint

environment with zero impact to our on-

premises datacenter”

- Jeremy Fuchs, Vice President of Financial and BI

Systems, Lionsgate

Security-in-layers approach

Isolated infrastructure and workloads

Identity and access controls

Tracking and logging

Optimized for regulatory compliance

AWS for Windows is Reliable

“Before migrating to AWS, we experienced 10

to 20 hours of downtime a month. With AWS,

our downtime is significantly reduced. Our

average uptime increased rapidly from 98.8

percent to 99.9 percent without

re-architecting applications.”

- Augusto Rosa, Server Operations Manager,

Shaw Media

99.95% SLA

Multi-region synchronous replication

Uptime and performance monitoring

Low network variability

AWS for Windows is High-Performance

“Using AWS, we decreased average

network latency from 700 milliseconds

to less than 50 milliseconds…

Fundamentally, running in AWS

enables a 230 percent CPU

consumption efficiency in data

processing.”

- Murari Gopalan, Technology Director,

Expedia.com

Enterprise-grade computing on-demand

Automation for both complex and routine tasks

Dedicated, low-latency network connections

Automated Scaling

Monitoring tools with user-defined thresholds

AWS for Windows is Familiar

“We didn’t have time to re-design

applications. AWS could support our legacy

32-bit applications on Windows Server

2003, a variety of SQL Server and Oracle

databases, and a robust Citrix environment.”

- Jim McDonald, Lead Architect, Hess

Windows-based application support

Your own servers

Utilize existing VMs

License as you see fit

Same tools as on-premises environments

AWS for Windows is Cost-Effective

“Had we built our SharePoint 2013 farm in

our other data center, we would have

increased costs by almost 50 percent. When

you compare our SharePoint 2010 farm to

our SharePoint 2013 farm, AWS allowed us

to increase our computing power while also

reducing costs by 14 percent.”

- Michael Cierkowski, Development Manager,

Slalom Consulting

No hardware

procurement/deployment costs

Improved hardware utilization

Value-oriented culture

No long-term commitments

AWS for Windows is Extensive

“As our company continued to grow, so

did our reliance on the AWS cloud and

now, we’ve adopted almost all of the

features AWS provides. AWS is the

easy answer for any Internet business

that wants to scale to the next level.”

- Nathan Blecharczyk, Co-founder & CTO,

Airbnb

More than 60 services available

Broad ecosystem of partners

Third-party application marketplace

Continuous service improvement

Technical certifications for multiple skill levels

AWS for Windows is Flexible

“Our infrastructure requirements change

rapidly due to the agile nature of our

business. Amazon Web Services allowed us

to stop worrying about infrastructure and

concentrate on our business. Rapid growth

was no longer a technical hurdle and we

could have our important people focus on

more important problems, like making our

customers happy.”

- Lachlan Donald, CTO, 99Designs

Customer Success Story

Searching for a solution to host its MSFT SharePoint sites, the company chose

AWS because of cost, efficiency, and to improve operational efficiency. By

running on AWS, Dole can launch a new SharePoint website in minutes and

estimates savings $350,000 in operating expenses.

“When we were looking for a place to put our SharePoint install, we built out a [Amazon] Virtual Private

Cloud, effectively using it as an extension of our datacenter… We can grow any time we want– we

don’t have to go and acquire new hardware.”

– Joanna, Dyer, Director of IT Solutions, Dole Food Company
