“Open Data” is data that can be used by anyone for any purpose for free.
Many of our customers, such as Esri, the Weather Company, and the
Climate Corporation rely on quality open data as much as they rely on our
computing, storage, and other services.

• High Throughput Computing (HTC) for Data-Intensive Analytics

researchers can now
access on AWS for use
in disease research.
FDA Reduces Data Entry Costs from $29/Page to $0.25/Page by Using AWS
• The FDA protects and promotes public health in the US,
processing 1 million reports of adverse drug affects each
year, of which 10% are submitted manually through
emails, faxes, calls, and handwritten notes
• The agency was experiencing a backlog of reports and
needed a way to make the data entry process more
efficient and less costly, without investing in manual data
entry
• By using AWS and APN Partner Captricity, FDA could
quickly scan manual reports and turn that data into
machine-readable information with 99.7% accuracy,
reducing costs from $29 per page to $0.25 per page
The FDA partnered with Captricity to complete
this project on the AWS Cloud
We were able to scan all the
documents in the AWS Cloud
… and receive the results
back with 99.7% accuracy

Big data and going “all in”
public cloud computing is as or more secure than self-
hosting
• Web sites, public-facing apps, cross-organization collaboration apps
• Big data analytics, high performance computing workloads
• Development and test infrastructure
• Backup, archive, third tier storage
• Disaster recovery/continuity of operations (DR/COOP)
• Eventually: migration of LOB applications
• Quickly: SaaS already in AWS (e.g., TradeWorx, ESRI, TradeShift)

Integrating AWS with On-Premises Infrastructure
“AWS freed us from delays when procuring and installing hardware, and worked within our tight schedule. The services are so simple to use, that we can manage them ourselves”
- Jose Ramos, ESA

“AWS means we are able to
scale to meet the
extreme demandsof the admissions cycle.”
Zooniverse
“The Zooniverse is heavily reliant on Amazon
Web Services (AWS), particularly Elastic
Compute Cloud (EC2) virtual private servers
and Simple Storage Service (S3) data stor-
age. AWS is the most cost-effective solution
for the dynamic needs of Zooniverse’s
infrastructure …”

… cost is a factor – running a central API means that when the Zooniverse is
quiet and there aren’t many people about we can scale back the number of
servers we’re running (automagically on Amazon Web Services) to a minimal
level.
