| | NOVEMBER 20176CIOReviewSaying Amazon Web Services (AWS) has radically disrupted the global technology landscape is an understatement. Over the last decade, organizations--large and small--have been shifting their IT resources to AWS on a historic scale, driven by the most dominant trends¬ of agility and scalability. Enterprises today are no longer constrained by compute storage or other technological limitations. While they scale their business, AWS has been persistently upgrading its technology from time to time, keeping abreast to new technology disruptions. Migrating to the cloud has improved agility for several businesses. Meanwhile, for most businesses, priority lies in the visibility into the cloud and enforcing security policy at a cloud speed. Cloud security being AWS' highest priority, Amazon has announced a series of new security features to its cloud platform, ahead of its annual re:Invent conference. This provides users with enhanced capabilities to help protect the virtual private cloud end point connections. Moreover, by moving to the AWS cloud, Amazon promises a rapid boost to an organization's security posture along with improved scalability, flexibility and cost effectiveness. AWS handles dozens of compliance programs in its infrastructure, making it extremely user-friendly, and giving users more time to spend on their businesses. This improvement also brings into limelight, a key concern of performing a thorough total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis. Beyond direct software and hardware purchases and implementation costs, it is important to consider additional business drivers, including risks and resource overhead. Apart from the TCO calculator, AWS's monthly calculator also simplifies cost comparisons tremendously.Amazon has partnered with thousands of companies across the globe, to help their clients reap the benefit of their innovative solution.
