AWS
• Customers can take advantage of AWS's expertise and economies
of scale to access resources when they need them

of compute capacity in use by paying customers – many times the
aggregate size of all other providers in the market.”

SaaS model: Multi-Tenant infrastructure
• Live Web and Application servers created in a VPC that spans multiple AZs
• Database servers linked using real time replication (SQL Server Always On Availability Groups)
• Database servers use AWS Elastic Block Store for all live storage
• Separate database schema for each customer
• All Tenants use servers in all AZs simultaneously
• Non-production environments (2) are extra Tenants in the same infrastructure

Backups and Disaster Recovery
Database backup schedule:
• Transaction Log backups every 15 minutes (1 days retention)
• Differential backups every 8 hours (14 days retention)
• Full backups weekly (30 days retention)
• Backups are performed on-line to maximise system availability
Snapshots of all Elastic Block Storage (EBS) volumes are taken daily
• Snapshots are retained for 30 days, then released
• Snapshots are synchronised to other AZs immediately (multiple locations) for maximum durability
Database backups are taken to EBS volumes, which is snapshotted to AWS S3 storage
• AWS S3 storage provide “11 9s” (99.9999999%) durability

Connectivity
Connectivity is via the public Internet
All access by clients is via HTML 5 compliant browsers (latest versions of Chrome, IE11, Edge, Safari)
• Platform independent (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android etc.)
• No local software installs required
Data in transit is encrypted via https using SSL/TLS 1.2
• Using standard https ports
Low bandwidth requirements
• Each active user will consume approximately 50Kbps to 100Kbps of bandwidth dependant on activity
• Latency: Sub 150ms is recommended
• Applications will function with higher latencies but certain functions may suffer in terms of responsiveness
• Test latency to AWS: http://www.CloudPing.info
Option for AWS Direct Connect if you are a AWS customer
