Microsoft Workloads on Amazon Web Services

The Syntax Advantage

Migrate, Extend and Run Microsoft-Based Solutions to AWS

Syntax helps you build, deploy, scale, and manage Microsoft applications quickly, easily, securely, and cost-effectively on Amazon Web Services. The complexity of administering your own file, web, app and database servers, managing & patching the OS, and backing up both can be overwhelming, with multiple skill sets and multiple people involved. Factor in the compliance requirements for true Disaster Recovery (DR) continuity and suddenly running your Microsoft environments consumes more time and talent than you can spare. Syntax takes this high-maintenance headache away by deploying, managing and safe-guarding your Microsoft workloads on AWS—simply a better way to address availability, scale and disaster recovery with ease.

Syntax’s DNA is in the most complex ERP environments. With this expertise comes expansive MS SQL knowledge to migrate, build, manage and scale any MS SQL workload, while determining the optimal EC2 or RDS AWS environment.

RDS VS. EC2:

Microsoft SQL Workloads on AWS

How is RDS different than EC2? Why would you select one versus the other for Microsoft SQL workloads? If you’re using or considering SQL Server on the Amazon Cloud (AWS), you can bring your own SQL licenses for use on a default Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) tenant, provided that you have purchased software assurance. You cannot bring your own SQL licenses for use on Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). So depending on your licensing requirements, you can choose RDS or EC2. The good news is that Syntax Managed Services can support you either way. Read our blog to learn more.
