Public cloud managed service specialist 2nd Watch announces a multi-part service designed to help companies use the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Managed Services (AMS) more quickly and effectively.

AWS provides companies with access to AWS infrastructure, allowing them to scale software deployments for customers without increases resources for operation management. The result reduces operational overhead and risk as the company scales to meet customer demand. The 2nd Watch AMS Onboarding Accelerator service helps clients assess, migrate and operationalise applications from on-premises infrastructure to AWS, with support during the discovery, assessment, planning and execution process.

The 2nd Watch AMS Onboarding Accelerator comes in 2 parts. The first is a four-hour free-of-charge discovery and planning workshop designed to help clients assess whether their environment and workloads are ready for AMS. The second is the actual onboarding acceleration, including application discovery, architecture and infrastructure design, full migration strategy, schedule and execution, operations integration strategy and implementation, AMS landing zone integration, high availability and disaster recovery analysis, automatioin consulting, role/responsibility definition, project management and progress reports.

“In today’s world, companies are hyper-focused on providing updates, launching services and making it easier for end-users to interface with their applications,” 2nd Watch says. “Companies that have not refactored their applications for a SaaS offering on AWS face challenges managing their operations while scaling to meet customer demand. 2nd Watch solves this problem by performing full application discovery and developing an architecture and infrastructure design that matches both AMS structure and the client’s needs.”
