AWS EC2 compute

Cloud

Virtual server instances for general-purpose and specialized workloads.

EC2 provides virtual server instances across general-purpose, compute-heavy and memory-heavy instance types, scaling with actual demand rather than the fixed capacity of owned hardware — and pairing with auto-scaling for applications whose traffic varies significantly.

For businesses moving server workloads off fixed on-premises hardware, the planning work is less about picking an instance type and more about right-sizing it against real usage, which we help model before migration rather than after the first bill arrives.

  • Instance types for general-purpose, compute- or memory-heavy workloads
  • Scales up or down with actual demand instead of fixed hardware
  • Pairs with auto-scaling for variable-traffic applications

Best for: Businesses moving server workloads off fixed on-premises hardware.

Pick by deployment size

Here's roughly where each tier fits. Exact model and configuration are confirmed when you request a quote.

  • Small / dev-test

    T-family burstable instances

    Low, steady baseline compute that can burst for occasional spikes — good for small apps and dev/test.

  • Enterprise / production

    M and C-family instances

    General-purpose and compute-optimized instances for steady production workloads.

  • Data center / hybrid

    AWS Outposts

    AWS-managed infrastructure that runs in your own data center for strict latency or data-residency needs.
