Amazon Web Services
Build Your Business on Managed AWS
Amazon Web Services is the leading cloud platform. With a wide variety of services, tools, frameworks, and other features, you can adapt it to solve any business problem—as long as you apply the right skills.
AWS Managed Services from VAST add expert AWS skills to your team. Our certified engineers set up and manage your AWS environment. We handle all the monitoring and maintenance tasks to support your business needs today and prepare systems to meet tomorrow’s opportunities. We support all AWS products, including instances, storage, databases, and messaging.
In addition, AWS makes it easy to run Kubernetes in the cloud with scalable and highly available virtual machine infrastructure and community-backed service integrations. VAST can help you choose to manage Kubernetes infrastructure yourself with Amazon EC2 or get an automatically provisioned, managed Kubernetes control plane with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), a certified conformant, managed Kubernetes service. Either way, you get powerful, community-backed integrations as well as the security, scalability, and high-availability of AWS.
With VAST handling your AWS, your cloud environment is managed according to best practices, industry standards, and your own policies to create a robust, stable, business appropriate platform to develop your business.
Scalable, Cost-Effective Application Recovery
Elastic Disaster Recovery minimizes downtime and data loss with fast, reliable recovery of on-premise and cloud-based applications using affordable storage, minimal compute, and point-in-time recovery.
With AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery, you can:
- Save costs by removing idle recovery site resources, and pay for your full disaster recovery site only when needed.
- Recover your applications within minutes, at their most up-to-date state or from a previous point in time.
- Use a unified process to test, recover, and fail back a wide range of applications, without specialized skillsets.
- Gain flexibility using AWS as your elastic recovery site, with the ability to add or remove replicating servers as needed.

AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers its customers a free Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) tool designed to address the challenges of managing AWS licenses and cloud resources. The data gathered during the assessment can provide insights into reducing required instances and enhancing resource efficiency, reducing the cost of maintaining your AWS environment.
The solution can also be used with the AWS Migration Evaluation (ME) to develop a business case for migrating on-premises workloads to AWS. The ME can project future AWS costs to help determine the best migration path.
As a member of the AWS Partner Network, VAST’s extensive experience gives us the expertise needed to use the OLA process effectively to help your company get the most from its AWS environment. At no cost to you, we will begin the process, work with AWS to assess your environment and deliver results that allow you to make informed decisions regarding your IT environment.
Understand your existing deployments, application performance, and contracts.

Reduce costs by optimizing existing investments and only pay for resources used.
