AWS Outposts: bringing AWS on-premises

Cloud adoption continues to grow
73%Organizations are already using
the cloud
17%Organizations plan to start
using the cloud in the next 12
months

Applications that are sensitive to
latency and variability in latency
• Need for near real time
responses to end user applications
• Need to control on-site equipment
• Need to communicate with other
on-premises systems
• Need to ensure integrity of ingested signal
(e.g. at live events before broadcasting)
• Need to reliably process messages from
industrial equipment to monitor production
• Need for managing local data stores
Applications that process data locally
Applications that need to remain on-premises

Customer challenges with on-premises applications
Don’t have the same services and APIs to build
applications on-premises as in the cloud
Don’t have the same tools for automation,
deployment, and security controls as in the cloud
Different code and processes for on-premises and
cloud applications creates friction and operational risk
Complex procurement and provisioning
cycles across a 6–12 vendors and ~3–6
months to get servers installed on-premises
Significant overhead to patch and upgrade
on-premises infrastructure against a
complex ‘compatibility matrix’ across various
hardware and software components
Application maintenance downtime
to safely upgrade impacts business
continuity and operations
Pace of Innovation on-premises lags that in the cloud
IT Infrastructure Developers
Business

Customers want the same experience across
on premises and the cloud
Same

consistency
Same tools for
automation,
deployments, and
security controls
Same services
and APIs
Same pace of
innovation as in
the cloud
Same reliable,
secure, and high
performance
infrastructure

“We are looking to use Outposts for our
top 200 healthcare sites with each site
hosting 1 to 30 racks. We are looking to
deploy PACS (Picture Archiving and
Communication System) on Outposts,
and expect more business units to use
our cloud application suite now that an
on-premises option available. This will
create new opportunities for us drive
deployments in 100-200 further sites.”

“We want to create a digital production
platform to digitize our manufacturing
and logistics processes to significantly
reduce manufacturing and supply chain
costs by 2025. We are looking to run
this platform on Outposts to provide
services for our plants, suppliers, and
logistics providers. We want to track
parts and vehicles during the
manufacturing process, predict machine
failure, monitor and manage Overall
Equipment Effectiveness.”
