The AWS Alternative

 

Lately, Isra Technologies began to set and implement their clients on the AWS. ( Amazon Web Services) All though a majority of our clients using the Windows server 2012 R2 platform which is a stable and versatile system to run your IT operation, we  see the  Amazon Web services platform as a top contender. Now  an Isra technology engineer can  run the 2012 R2 Window server platform on the Amazon Web Serviced infrastructure at the same time reducing cost, exceeding performance, additional security, efficient and advanced technology, combined with an easy migration. The reliability and scalability of the Amazon Web services infrastructure are unparalleled.
