This document discusses how AWS (Amazon Web Services) can help education institutions innovate faster by focusing on their core missions rather than managing infrastructure. It notes that traditional IT models lack agility to keep up with startups. AWS offers a variety of global cloud services that are secure, scalable, and easily accessible to help customers deploy applications faster and reduce costs and risks compared to maintaining their own infrastructure. Specific education customers that have realized benefits such as reduced IT costs and improved query performance by migrating databases and other workloads to AWS services like Amazon Redshift are highlighted.

• AWS Introduction
• Focus on Differentiation
• Innovate Faster
• Reduce Infrastructure Risks
• AWS Educate

3. 2/3
More than two-thirds of
IT budgets go toward
keeping the lights on
77%
of CEOs believe security
risk has increased in the
last few years and 65%
believe their risk management
capability is falling behind
15yrs
The average lifespan
of an S&P company
dropped from 67 years in
the 1920s to 15 years today

4. How This Affects You
You’re left without
the necessary resources
to pursue critical business
initiatives required to maintain
a competitive advantage Your traditional IT model
lacks the agility you
need to keep pace with
innovative startups
Insufficient security,
compliance and availability
can hamper your ability to
compete and open the door
to sophisticated, hard-to-
identify attacks

5. AWS is Leader and Visionary

Comcast’s IT strategy focuses on combining its own data centers and AWS
as the cornerstone of its next-generation TV service, X1. This has allowed
them to rapidly scale interactive, on-demand content to millions of viewers.

18. • UND migrated website and global student and
faculty authentication store to AWS with plans to
move 80% of its workloads in the next three years.
• UND Reports 40% savings on IT operational costs
annually.
We are confident in saying that
the AWS infrastructure has
performed exactly as intended.

Supporting Business of Education
University of Maryland University College (UMUC) needed to replace its
legacy applications and decided to use AWS to run its new analytics
platform as well as several administrative workloads. By using AWS,
UMUC improved the performance of its analytics platform by twentyfold
and enabled its engineers to focus on building new applications instead of
managing IT infrastructure.
Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana is the largest community college in
the United States. About 170,000 students register for classes each year;
school maintains a student database with about 1.7 million records. School
needed to scale existing systems, including operational data store (ODS). By
leveraging AWS: Queries complete in as little as three seconds, down
from 40 minutes; Licensing and monthly operational costs are about 60
percent less.

22. Data warehousing for everyone
• Massively parallel, petabyte scale
• Fully managed
• $1000 per TB per year; 1/10th traditional costs
• Use your existing integration and BI tools
Faster, simpler, less expensive
Amazon Redshift
“Being able to explore near-real-time data improves our decision making massively. We
can make decisions based on what’s happening now rather than what happened three
or four days ago… Redshift is the engine that drives our decision-making: that’s how
important it is to us.” John O’Donovan – CTO, Financial Times

23. Ivy Tech Meets Petabyte-scale Database Needs
Using AWS
• Needed to scale systems to efficiently manage,
analyze tens of thousands of student records
• Uses Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3 as foundation for
analytics services
• Easily scales to manage petabyte-scale database
needs
• Queries completed in as little as three seconds, down
from 40 minutes in the past
• Millions of dollars less expensive to acquire than
other data warehouse solutions
"We could not find any other
database service that offers the
affordability, scalability, and
responsiveness that we get with
AWS."

BMW built its new car-as-a-sensor service in only six months using
DynamoDB and other services. With AWS, it can adapt to rapidly changing
load requirements that can scale up and down by two orders of magnitude
within 24 hours and will process data from 100,000 cars by 2018.

infrastructure capable of supporting several
hundred thousand of global concurrent users
• OUA is also able to start developing new products
and services within a day on the AWS Cloud and
add them into production in two weeks

27. Enterprise performance with open-source economics
Amazon RDS for Aurora
"With Alfresco on Amazon Aurora we scaled to 1 billion documents with a
throughput of 3 million per hour, which is 10 times faster than our MySQL
environment. It just works!" - John Newton, Founder and CTO of Alfresco.
