Amazon Web Services Consulting

What are Amazon Web Services?

Amazon Web Services Consulting PartnerConsulting Amazon Web Services are a set of services provided by Amazon, including S3 (Simple Storage Service) and EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud), provided to developers and web service providers that allow them to take advantage of Amazon's large datacenter infrastructure in a pay-as-you-go, infinitely scalable way.

S3 is a scalable storage solution that makes storing files on the Internet easy. With it, you never have to worry about running out of disk space or making sure your data is redundantly accessible again!

EC2 provides powerful on-demand computing that can be scaled up or down as you need, while paying per hour for the use of virtual machine instances.

EBS, or Elastic Block Store, is a way to persistently store your data with EC2. Think of EBS as a removable hard drive that can be attached to any machine that contains your data. Snapshots are easy with EBS, so your data is always backed up and a click away from a restore.


Why use OCS for AWS Consulting?

OCS Solutions has been both using and helping our customers make use of Amazon's S3 (Simple Storage Service) and EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) services since their early limited beta period in late 2006. We have an extensive amount of experience in adapting existing Internet technologies and practices into the new wave of infinitely scalable solutions that Amazon offers.

In addition, we offer a full selection of web hosting services that can both augment and enhance your EC2 deployments. Our custom mix approach increases reliability and decreases reliance on just one company or service to maximize uptime.

How Does AWS Consulting Work?


We can work in a wide variety of ways with you and your team. We can perform all of the server management, deployment, and support needs for you, or just provide per-incident support assistance, or a mix of the two. You're in control with our Amazon Web Services consulting.


How Much Do Your Services Cost?


We offer two different payment plans to better suit your needs.

Option 2 - Per-Hour Billing

Per-hour billing is best for one-off projects or small tasks that likely won't need repeating or monitoring. We offer this at a rate of $75 per hour, billable in quarter hour increments.

How We Bill

We only bill for the time we work on your project or consult with you, so you'll never pay for something you don't need or use. We can provide estimates on entire projects or individual tasks, putting you in full control.
