Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud services platform that enables enterprises to securely run applications on the virtual cloud. The key components of AWS are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3).

Supporting the Avaya applications on the AWS Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform provides the following benefits:

• Minimizes the capital expenditure (CAPEX) on infrastructure. The customers can move from CAPEX to operational expense (OPEX).

• Reduces the maintenance cost of running the data centers.

• Provides a common platform for deploying the applications.

• Provides a flexible environment to accommodate the changing business requirements of customers.
