You can launch as many instances as you need when you need them, and stop them when you no longer need them. You can also change resources such as increasing or decreasing the performance of your instances as needed.

● Secure Cloud Server
AWS security features are available to safely host data and applications, such as instance-level security groups, network ACLs, and IAM.

● Global infrastructureYou
can use AWS's global infrastructure.By using AWS regions and availability zones (AZs), you can provide low-latency services to users around the world.

● Preset AMI
By using AMI, you can get a pre-installed OS such as Linux or Windows, as well as applications, which allows you to quickly start up your applications.

● Various instance types
A variety of different types are available, including CPU, memory, storage, and network, so you can choose the type that is best suited to each application.

● Charges based on resource usage
Charges are based on the amount of time an instance is used and the amount of data transferred, so you can use only the resources you need for the amount of time you need.

Functions combined with Amazon EC2

● Autoscaling
The autoscaling function provides the ability to automatically scale instances up or down depending on the load of the application, allowing you to quickly and automatically respond to increases or decreases in the number of users.


By installing a load balancer at the top of the load balancing

● Storage
You can attach storage services such as EBS and EFS, allowing you to store application data efficiently and securely.

● GPU Instances
GPU instances enable you to perform advanced computing tasks such as machine learning and data analysis.

Please tell me the process for migrating server data

When migrating from your current server to the cloud, we will select the new cloud server to be introduced, thoroughly identify bottlenecks and risks during data migration, and determine the work process and schedule, including database and content data synchronization methods, system downtime, DNS switching work, and operation confirmation

Server data migration process (example)
Beyond Work 1. Interview and definition2
. Survey of current server environment *Connection information to current server is required3
. Adjustment of data migration schedule4
. Design and construction of new server environment to which data will be migrated (machine setup, OS/middleware installation, etc.)
5. First data migration from current server to new server (import of full data)
6. Service/system operation check (first time)
7. Second data migration from current server to new server (import of differential data) *Involves system downtime for maintenance8
. Service/system operation check (second time)
9. DNS server record switching/redirection *Or this can be done by the customer10
. Creation of a parameter sheet for the new server
Customer work 1. Adjusting the schedule for data migration
2. Applying for a new server
3. Program modifications and upgrades to current services and systems *Please take action as necessary
4. Creating a maintenance page *As this involves a system outage, please make preparations as necessary
5. Switching DNS server records and changing destinations *Or have Beyond do this
6. Checking the operation of the service and system
7. Removing and canceling the current server

*The above server transfer/migration process is an example. The server transfer method will vary depending on your system environment, so we will respond in a way that meets your needs.
*This service requires a separate fee for server data transfer. Please see below for details.

What are the differences between cloud servers and on-premise (physical) servers?

The following are some of the differences and comparisons between cloud servers and on-premise (physical) servers:

Cloud Server Features
Safety - The hardware infrastructure (servers/network) is built in as standard, so there is little service interruption due to hardware failure
Operational aspect - You can quickly build servers, add more servers, and upgrade their specifications regardless of the server location

- The server can be scaled out to accommodate high loads of access

Price - Most cloud services charge a per-data-transfer amount, so monthly costs fluctuate

- Overseas cloud services such as AWS, Google Cloud (GCP), Azure, and Oracle Cloud have service usage fees that fluctuate depending on the monthly exchange rate

merit - Resources can be added easily, as much as needed, when needed

- Even if the server configuration is minimal when the cloud is introduced, it is possible to upgrade or downgrade the specifications after the service starts

Disadvantages - Because the hardware infrastructure and configuration are black boxes, it is difficult to identify the cause of hardware-related failures and to evaluate performance

- Data transfer is charged as you go, so monthly service fees may increase

comprehensive evaluation - For web services and systems where the access load to the server changes suddenly, such as games, apps, e-commerce sites, media sites, and digital content, the cloud is suitable as it can quickly respond to adding resources and scaling out

- In terms of cloud reliability, most cloud services undergo annual audits by internationally accredited third-party auditing organizations to provide assurance about security, privacy, and compliance controls

On-premise (physical server) features
Safety - Since the data is stored in a physical environment, the location of the server is clear
Operational aspect - Machine resources such as servers, firewalls, and load balancers can be exclusively used by one company, making it easy to customize the system to suit your company's requirements
Price Although initial implementation costs are incurred, monthly costs are often fixed, making monthly cost management stable. However, there are indirect, invisible personnel costs involved, such as infrastructure maintenance man-hours, data center rack costs, electricity costs, and hardware manufacturer maintenance renewals
merit ・Since it is exclusive to one company, it is not affected by other users' systems.
・The performance of the machine and resources, such as CPU/memory, is clear.
Disadvantages ・There is a risk of server shutdown due to physical hardware failure.
・It is difficult to upgrade hardware resources.
・When initially introducing hardware, it takes time to size and estimate the system.
comprehensive evaluation - Because it allows you to make maximum use of server machine/hardware resources, when developing mission-critical systems that do not use the external Internet, physical servers can maintain stable, high performance rather than the cloud

- Some studies have shown that performance evaluations compared to cloud services have shown that performance results are more than three times faster

*Beyond can provide server operation, maintenance, and monitoring (24 hours a day, 365 days a year) even for on-premise (physical server) infrastructure environments

In addition, for the design and construction of on-premise (physical server) infrastructure environments and on-site support, we will work in collaboration with Beyond's infrastructure partners
