…get into cloud computing?

How did Amazon…

Over 10 years in the making

Enablement of sellers on Amazon

Internal need for scalable deployment environment

Early forays proved developers were hungry for more

AWS Mission

Enable businesses and developers to use web services* to build scalable,

sophisticated applications.

*What people now call “the cloud”

Not excess capacity!

GNM measures the savings from using AWS in terms of reduced lead times.

“It takes … less than 10 minutes to set up a new

instance in Amazon EC2 and perhaps another 20 minutes to connect to the infrastructure and build the

server type, for a total lead time of half an hour. This compares to a possible three weeks for hardware to be delivered and installed plus additional time for budget

approval.” Mike Bracken GNM’s Director of Technology Development,
