When choosing an enterprise level service provider, it is crucial to understand the type of service they provide. Choosing the right service provider not only helps you with smooth integration of the services that are aligned with your current business model, but also helps you make the most of the services as and when required. Continuing on the subject, this blog post discusses three important factors that you must consider when partnering with a AWS web service provider. Read on.
Experience
Experience is the most crucial parameter to consider when hiring a AWS web service provider. When partnering with a AWS service provider, take into account their years of experience in the business as well as in providing AWS web services. Comparing the time spent in the business will help you narrow down your options to reliable service providers.
Security
Security is one of the top concerns in cloud computing. So it’s important to ask questions related to the security provisions offered by each vendor on your list. Feel free to ask the regulatory requirements and the security provisions related to your industry, and any other concern you may have. It is important to also understand the type of security mechanism each vendor uses to keep the data and applications secure and whether they offer any free out-of-the-box feature along with the services or is there any additional paid service offered by the vendor that might be of your interest.
Support
Support is another key factor that requires careful consideration when opting for AWS services. Is the help available as and when you require it? In some cases, the only support you get is through the chat or call center, which you may or may not like. In other cases, the support may be available through a dedicated resource, which may or may not be available due to time constraints or accessibility. It is, therefore, important to ask up front about the type of support you get along with the services.
Takeaway
While the factors discussed above are not enough to hire a service provider right away, they will surely help you build a framework to determine which service provider you can trust with your applications and data. So whether you are looking for AWS web hosting, AWS cloud computing, AWS app hosting, AWS database services, or AWS data or cloud migration services, make sure you consider the aforementioned factors along with other important factors pertaining to your business. Last, but not the least, do consider clients’ testimonials before hiring a AWS service provider.
