Frequently asked questions

What exactly is AWS, and why is it the industry leader?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a massive collection of cloud-based computing services. It leads the market because it offers the widest range of tools—from basic storage to advanced AI—allowing businesses to innovate faster than traditional IT allows.

How does moving to AWS save my company money?

AWS replaces large, upfront hardware costs with a "pay-as-you-go" model. You only pay for the exact amount of computing power you use, and our team specialises in "right-sizing" your environment to eliminate unnecessary expenses.

Is our data safer on AWS than in our own on-site servers?

Yes. AWS infrastructure is built to satisfy the security requirements of the military and global banks. It offers automated encryption, superior physical data center security, and constant threat monitoring that most internal teams cannot replicate.

What is the difference between Managed Hosting and simply having an AWS account?

An AWS account gives you the tools, but Managed Hosting gives you the craftsmen. We handle the patching, security updates, monitoring, and backups, so your internal team can focus on your core business products.

Can AWS help us meet regulatory compliance (like GDPR or HIPAA)?

Absolutely. AWS offers more compliance certifications than any other provider. We help you configure your environment specifically to meet the legal requirements of your industry and region.

How does AWS support our sustainability or ESG goals?

AWS is committed to powering its operations with 100% renewable energy. Moving from an on-premise data center to AWS typically reduces your carbon footprint by nearly 80% due to their massive energy efficiencies.

Why should we use a partner instead of managing AWS ourselves?

AWS has over 200 services; it’s easy to over-provision or misconfigure them. As a partner, we ensure you are using the most efficient services for your needs, preventing "cloud sprawl" and ensuring your architecture is optimized for performance from day one.
