The Alfresco suite of Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions arrives on the cloud as a single-tenant managed services hosted in an AWS virtual private cloud (VPC).
In addition, the company is making cloud deployment for customers managing own AWS infrastructure easier via new DevOps toolkit. The result promises to "significantly accelerate" time to value by up to two-thirds, while giving customers the choice, flexibility and security expected from both Alfresco and AWS.
The Alfresco managed offering provides a content-centric platform enabling users to collaborate on business-critical content-- all with the network isolation and security of VPC, and without need for dedicated internal resources for Alfresco and AWS management. Running on the Amazon cloud makes high-throughput processes, such as processing millions of invoices and managing confidential contracts, more efficient.
Alfresco on AWS should also allow for simpler collaboration, change tracking, content reviewing and approval, and external partner addition. Customers can configure the system to meet specific business data models, rules, workflows and interfaces, as well as extend it into other systems, via RESTful APIs.
Customers wanting to design, deploy and maintain own systems get Alfredo QuickStart-- a collection of reference architectures, CloudFormation templates, documentation and tools incorporating expertise from both Alfredo and Amazon.
“As security demands increase at the same time that data center costs rise, customers are looking for virtual private clouds to reduce costs and better secure critical business information. Large and regulated companies want airtight control of their mission critical files, which can be over half the files in an organisation, but without the hassle of huge datacentres,” Alfresco says. “We are excited to take our partnership with AWS to deliver the level of security that our customers expect with the ease of delivery of dedicated, managed services specifically designed to support cloud-based deployments of large business-critical information stores.”
Alfresco on Amazon is currently available on Early Access basis.
