Launched in 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began exposing key infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services -- now widely known as cloud computing. The ultimate benefit of cloud computing, and AWS, is the ability to leverage a new business model and turn capital infrastructure expenses into variable costs. Businesses no longer need to plan and procure servers and other IT resources weeks or months in advance. Using AWS, businesses can take advantage of Amazon's expertise and economies of scale to access resources when their business needs them, delivering results faster and at a lower cost.

Today, Amazon Web Services provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world. With data center locations in the U.S., Europe, Singapore, and Japan, customers across all industries are taking advantage of our low cost, elastic, open and flexible, secure platform.

SWS workspace not a bad product. But it needs imprivement. it is laggy as hell and that I have already lost one chunk of work.Setup is easy or complex depending on whether you need to integrate with an on-premise Active Directory. I have used standalone so it was pretty easy.An annoyance is that you cannot use Microsoft’s standard remote desktop client, but only Amazon’s apps. #spiceworks

I have used amazon S3 and glacier with EC2. i kind of like it when i am using with other aws products because of its neat integration. also using s3 for offsite backup with dragon disk and cloud-berry software. I really like S3 when it comes to transfer any size files to other location. using s3 browser and it is a 1 minute job and you get fastest downloadable link. highly recomend S3 for backups #spiceworks

Pros

Easily scalable.
Able to get email/mobile notifications if issues with servers.
An easy to use and navigate GUI.

Cons

Price!
I know it’s more tailored to large enterprise, so some price structures seem quite extreme for small to medium size business .

Conclusion

Amazon Web Services is well suited for us as we don’t have to deal with physical infrastructure and want a high level of security and availability. Though if our needs increase in the future, we will have to revisit if it’s still cost efficient to pay per min or built local infrastructure.
