  • What is Cloud Computing ?
  • What is Amazon Web Services ?
  • Overview of AWS Computing Platform
  • Benefits of AWS
  • Q&A

  • Data Center
  • Software License,Development, Maintenance
  • IT Staff
  • Support



As the business expands…need to expand your data center, staff, licenses etc too 


Now,Let’s look what cloud computing could do for you

  • Virtually Unlimited Computing Power , use only what you need
  • Virtually Unlimited Storage, For storing your documents & files
  • Traditional IT Provisioning takes time . Cloud Provisioning happens instantly, In a click..
  • Your data is replicated 3 or 4 times in Cloud Provider data center for High Availability
  • Although data and computing are accessible everywhere, You choose where they reside
  • No need to worry about Infrastructure maintenance or upgrade cost
  • Pay as You Go



All of these require MASSIVE data centers ,complex engineering and capital investments

Amazon SimpleDB can be useful for those who need a non-relational database for storage of smaller, non-structural data. Amazon SimpleDB has restricted storage size to 10GB per domain and it can achieve up to 25 writes/second. Amazon SimpleDB offers simplicity and flexibility. SimpleDB automatically indexes all data. Amazon SimpleDB pricing is based on your actual box usage. You can store any UTF-8 string data in Amazon SimpleDB.

SDB Explorer has been made as an industry leading graphical user interface (GUI) to explore Amazon SimpleDB service.
