Cloud Services for AWS

Unlock value from IT investments. Manage costs, governance and risks with our comprehensive services.

Demands on IT for increased speed and lower costs are fueling a rush to the public cloud, and a growing number of organizations are choosing the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, the world’s most broadly adopted public cloud platform, with its dozens of full-featured services for compute, storage, mobile and enterprise applications. And new services are being added at an unprecedented rate.

As more enterprises move to AWS, organizations are challenged with providing corporate oversight, security and cost controls across the entire cloud estate. Poor oversight often leads to overprovisioning of cloud services, wasteful and unplanned spending, and instances with open, unsecure ports.

Full support for AWS

DXC Cloud Services for AWS provides design, delivery and daily operational support of compute, storage and virtual network infrastructure within the AWS cloud. We monitor and manage system software and infrastructure configurations, and our financial and governance services help reduce uncontrolled consumption.

Both AWS and DXC Technology’s managed services enable the enterprise though the hybrid cloud. You can scale up and down to continually meet your changing business needs, ensuring that your IT costs and services will continually align to business demand.

DXC helps you realize the full financial and operational benefits of AWS through end-to-end services that include Advisory Services to identify workloads suited to migration to the cloud, and Application Transformation and Cloud Migration Services to take the risk out of moving core applications in complex enterprise environments.

We offer managed service bundles suited to meet client IT and financial objectives. Whether you have critical workloads that demand a full suite of services or you’re just looking for a light-touch service to control costs, we can scale and align to meet your needs.

DXC is uniquely positioned to support AWS. We combine the most advanced monitoring tools in the industry with our AWS Center of Excellence and more than 700 certified AWS professionals, giving your organization control of, and greater visibility into, your AWS environment.

Proven success with AWS

Our Cloud Services for AWS are helping clients optimize their AWS utilization and benefit from flexible consumption-based models such as infrastructure as a service and platform as a service. In addition to managing costs, these firms are benefiting from agile development and deployment of cloud-native applications. For example:

• A global insurance giant called on DXC to help the company distinguish itself from its competition by including the latest digital technologies in its customer offerings. DXC helped migrate the client to the AWS cloud, transitioning the client’s digital applications to the AWS cloud operating model, complete with security and governance. As a result, the client became fully paperless and can now deploy next-generation technologies such as the internet of things and machine learning.
• DXC helped a global telecommunications provider migrate its workloads to AWS and reengineer complex applications by modernizing the entire application stack, reducing infrastructure and operational costs. The client also improved its cyber resiliency as a result of the AWS architecture design from DXC.

Multiple service options

DXC offers Advisory Services and three bundles of managed services:
Advisory Services — Quickly assess your current state and develop a roadmap for managing AWS resources.

• Analyze an existing AWS environment to align to security, compliance, flexibility and scalability needs.

• Management of virtual machines, storage and guest operating system, including patching, monitoring and backup/restore
• Security management, including Active Directory, firewall, endpoint protection, virtual network and antivirus services
• Service cost scaled to demand

Our service bundles are designed to align with client needs. For example, a full-scope managed service may not be needed for development/test workloads. Our services bring best practices and governance to the public cloud, so you can be confident in moving the most critical workloads to the cloud, driving value and agility.

Our approach to AWS is as nontraditional as the cloud itself. Traditional siloes for storage, compute and networking are replaced with a fully skilled, end-to-end CloudOps delivery capability. The result: a mature cloud environment that can quickly consume new cloud services to increase agility and meet business goals.
