If you are considering moving legacy apps into AWS, you need to remember that the tools and the services available in the cloud do not always have a 1 to 1 relationship with what you would expect with physical servers and hardware in your datacenter or at your hosting provider. There are many advantages to moving legacy applications into the cloud, there are some things to be conscious of to make sure they function as expected, especially in terms of high availability and disaster recovery goals.

Security Concerns In AWS
Are your systems and databases on AWS Safe? What is your strategy for VPC? Do you know how to use IAM. The Daedalus staff is highly trained to insure the security of your cloud footprint. We will help you understand any vulnerabilities and how to address them. We can also make sure your systems are configured in a PCI compliant manner in AWS as well as meet other industry security standards so you can rest assured that your enterprise data is safe in the cloud.
Managing Large Infrastructure.
For a large environment, Daedalus will employ technologies such as Chef for server configuration management and automation and AWS CloudFormation to automate full deployment of cloud resources such as RDS (relational database service), EC2 (elastic compute cloud servers) and ELB (Elastic Load Balancers.)
We can optimize costs and control efficiency.
We also specialize in hybrid cloud solutions, where you can expand your current datacenter foot print into a virtual private cloud VPC in Amazon Web Services. This allows you to take advantage of what the cloud has to offer as well as keeping your existing infrastructure, while making sure they can work together as one.
Another great tool available is the AWS Storage Gateway. This allows you to expand your storage into amazon S3 offering 11 9s of availability. By expanding storage into S3 transparently you can eliminate the need for costly upgrades to traditional enterprise storage such as SAN and NAS systems. We can help you deploy a solution that will save time and money whether for offloading disaster recovery data to the cloud or your enterprise files and application data.
