AWS cloud success: your route to results through a trusted partner
When it comes to choosing a public cloud provider, businesses can struggle to weigh up the pros and cons of one hyperscaler versus another.
The final decision on which public cloud provider a business chooses normally hinges on three core factors: Cost, technology, and innovation. The perceived credibility of the provider’s cloud advisory services will also come into play.
Whether a business chooses one cloud provider or multicloud, the ease of adoption and ongoing customer experience makes all the difference when it comes time to assess KPIs and renew contracts down the line. This is where a trusted partner can be invaluable.
DoiT holds certifications with the top three hyperscalers and is an AWS Premier Partner meaning it can also offer expert AWS cloud IT support plans to enterprises looking at working with the hyperscaler, or unlock greater value for those already using AWS managed services or AWS computing services.
It’s well-positioned to help enterprises unlock the full suite of public cloud benefits, even those tied to some of the newest – and potentially expensive, to the uninitiated – advances in cloud computing.
AI services in AWS
Cloud AI services have become a key driver of surging cloud investment, with the ‘big three’ hyperscalers — AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure — all having invested huge sums into AI to be provided via their respective public cloud platforms.
Ease of generative AI adoption and the range of models available is one of the standout benefits of AWS for enterprises right now. Its customers can access the firm’s own developer AI assistant Amazon Q, alongside a wide range of closed and open source AI models via its AI platform Amazon Bedrock. The firm has put ease of AI adoption front and center in its cloud AI strategy in 2024, leaning into the range of off-the-shelf or configurable AI models available on this in-house platform.
Those looking to make the most of generative AI via AWS can increase their gains and ease their adoption journey by choosing DoiT as a partner. Much as DoiT helps firms in their overall cloud journey, including cloud advisory services and a sophisticated cloud migration consulting service, the firm stands ready to analyze a business’ needs when it comes to AI and offer expert advice on the best route to generative AI adoption.
DoiT was among the first AWS partners to achieve GenAI competency. As such, it is ideally placed to help customers decide which models available via AWS would be optimal for achieving their specific AI goals, as well as how they may need to train or selectively deploy generative AI models to meet their needs without over-complicating their workflows.
AWS premium support through DoiT
The number one benefit of paying one’s AWS bill via an intermediary like DoiT is the premium support for the cloud you receive, both prior to and during AWS adoption.
DoiT’s senior cloud architects, numbering more than 200 internationally, work directly with experts within your organization to improve internal cloud talent. These experts are available via a direct communication channel to upskill your wider business and on a round-the-clock basis for critical support.
Customers of DoiT can expect regular strategic cloud roadmaps to ensure they are continually working to make the most of their workloads running on AWS and meeting long-term goals. DoiT also provides them with recommendations rooted in predictive analytics showing how they can improve their results, and assistance with implementing products and services.
This doesn’t just apply to the newest releases. For example, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is already one of the most popular ways for firms to embrace the benefits of Kubernetes but can be difficult to implement for first-time cloud enterprises. DoiT can advise on best practices for Amazon EKS and help relevant staff become adept in using the service.
Beyond technical education and advisory services, DoiT offers unique software solutions to enrich customer experience on AWS and reduce overall cloud costs via its cloud dashboard.
An example of this intelligent optimization of customer cloud environments is DoiT Spot Scaling, which automates the process of utilizing AWS Spot Instances. These instances use spare EC2 capacity at a dramatically reduced cost to standard EC2 rates, sometimes as much as 90% less than on-demand pricing.
Spot Instances can also make flexible computing such as big data analytics far cheaper to run on AWS.
But as AWS notes in its documentation, Spot Instances are highly inadequate for inflexible or critical applications, as spare EC2 capacity varies constantly. DoiT Spot Scaling automates this to remove the risk from Spot Instances and make better use of their benefits.
The tool flags EC2 your auto scaling groups (ASGs), instances that have been bundled together to be easily scaled up and down depending on performance needs, providing detailed recommendations on how the ASG could be better spot scaled. These can be immediately applied within the DoiT dashboard, while the tool can also automatically move instances back to on-demand compute if and when Spot Instance availability drops.
This is not the only example of DoiT helping customers make the most of discounts AWS itself offers. DoiT Flexsave leverages machine learning (ML) to automatically flag any AWS instances a customer has not tied to a specific amount of funding and commits funds to this at a one-year discount.
It’s possible because AWS, like other public cloud providers, offers reduced rates on compute that’s bought in advance. This can be tricky to sort manually, and trickier still for those who don’t know about the deal at all – but comes as standard with DoiT.
It’s indicative of the holistic benefits of leaning on DoiT to make the most of AWS. From the cutting edge to the smallest of savings, the partner uses its inside-and-out knowledge of the public cloud to give its customers the edge that they look for in the cloud.
Back in 2023, the two companies expanded their partnership as a sign they both intended to build on an already solid foundation of success.
At the time, Chris Sulivan, vice president of AWS Worldwide Systems Integration Partners, said: “We’re thrilled that our collaboration with DoiT has been expanded on a global scale. We’ve reached this milestone through our mutual customer-centric approach and commitment to delivering customers innovative business outcomes.”
He continued: “AWS is looking forward to continuing to work alongside DoiT, building on our history of delivering bar-raising value and fostering customer business growth on the AWS platform.”
