Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the worlds’ leading cloud infrastructure company, larger than the 14 next-largest providers – combined. Just like its famed e-commerce business, AWS uses its size to offer the broadest selection of capabilities while driving down prices, making it not only the largest and most scalable service in the world, but also the most cost effective. But Amazon brings much more to the table than simply cloud hosting. AWS has essentially transformed the functions of a typical datacenter into an API. This API can be called by software to install and configure new software, turn on new machines, scale up existing deployments, backup/restore entire architectures, etc. These unique capabilities led Qlarion to partner with AWS to create Qlarion QloudSmart, a secure cloud-based Managed Service for Public Sector BI/Analytics. QloudSmart radically simplifies the complexity of BI/Analytics deployments for Public Sector organizations.
