News: We are now offering “Amazon Web Services” Consulting

You heard about Cloud Computing. You thought about moving your servers and websites to the cloud. You did some research and found the leader in cloud infrastructure: AWS, Amazon Web Services (http://aws.amazon.com). You look deeper into starting an AWS system, then you realize it is overwhelmingly geeky. Yes, AWS can be a bear to setup the first time.

We are here to help. Carp Data is now offering its AWS expertise as a consulting service. We use Amazon Web Services for all our hosting and web applications. We consult with you to setup, manage, and train your staff to use all the great tools from Amazon: Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2), Elastic Block Store (EBS), Simple Storage Service (S3), Relational Database Service (RDS), and so on.

An Amazon server, now called a “node” in the cloud, starts around $75/month with full root access. Build a web farm with load balancing and a redundant relational database for less than $250/month at Amazon. Great commodity pricing, however, doesn’t help if you don’t have the resources to implement the plan. That’s where we come in. We consult with you every step of the way, as little or as much help as you need.

Contact Us to get started in The Cloud.

Frank - Thank you very much for the welcome. I'm excited to be part of this group and look forward to networking within. I will try to come up with something to blog about; I haven't really done much with that within my career. Thanks again for the comment. Have a great day!

Hi Frank... I'm contacting fellow EOK members. I work at CyberCE here in Knoxville and we're hosting the Knoxville Business Alliance Luncheon on Wednesday October 21st. It's a great networking opportunity. If you're interested, lunch is $10 and will be at 12pm (noon) at the Club LeConte -- 2700 Plaza Tower --Call 865-523-0405 to RSVP (required). Do you think you'd be able to make it?

Hey Frank, I wanted to touch base and invite you to learn more about the project we are collaborating with our fellow organizations across TN on, 48Hour Launch.

You definitely have a LOT to bring to the table. I would love to help you team up with other brilliant minds and heads. :-)
