AWS Cloud Integration

◆ Beyond AWS Cloud Integration Technology ◆

Since its founding, Beyond has been involved in the construction, operation, and maintenance of clouds and servers that form the foundation of web services and systems for large-scale, high-load games, apps, e-commerce sites, media sites, digital content, and more. Utilizing the technical capabilities it has cultivated as a multi-cloud integrator and managed service provider (MSP) centered on AWS, Beyond has resolved numerous infrastructure-related issues

We provide a custom-made cloud environment optimized for our customers, based on the application and system specifications and functions they require, using the technical capabilities and know-how we have cultivated through our track record in building, operating, maintaining, and developing various AWS services

● Propose the optimal AWS cloud environment configuration

Beyond, which specializes in cloud/server construction, operation, and maintenance, primarily for AWS, can provide you with the optimal cloud environment configuration based on AWS best practices.We also offer a variety of optional services, such as server data migration and security enhancement

● Middleware (OSS) optimization tuning and technical support

Beyond's strengths lie not only in building and operating AWS clouds, but also in technical support such as investigating OSS (open source software) such as Apache, MySQL, and PHP, and parameter tuning and updates to deal with high loads. We also provide comprehensive support for utilizing OSS

● 24/7 manned support by engineers in Japan and Canada

We have established a 24/7/365 technical support rotation system that takes advantage of the time difference between Japan and Canada. In the unlikely event of a server downtime or system trouble, we will provide prompt and stable server operation, maintenance, and monitoring. Of course, all support is available in Japanese

● Quick solution-oriented technical support using chat tools

To ensure prompt technical support, in addition to email and phone, we use chat tools such as Chatwork and Slack, which allow you to check all support history, including support response details and alert notifications from the monitoring server. *Slack is available to paid users who are able to share Slack Connect channels

● Configuration that makes full use of cutting-edge cloud-native technology

We design and deploy cloud-native infrastructure using modern technologies such as container orchestration, serverless architecture, and CI/CD pipelines.

● AWS resale and invoice payment in Japanese yen

Upon request, we offer AWS resale and billing services in Japanese yen. If your company policy does not allow credit card payments, you can purchase AWS from Beyond and pay by monthly invoice. We also handle inquiries to AWS support on your behalf

● Amazon Linux 2 Server Migration Solution

AWS's Linux OS, "Amazon Linux 2," will reach end-of-life (EOL) on June 30, 2025.

While it will still be possible to use server environments running Amazon Linux 2 after AWS ends support, various security risks will increase, such as the lack of security patches and updates. We recommend migrating your data well in advance.

● Beyond is an AWS Certified Select Tier Service Partner

The AWS Partner Network (APN) is AWS's global community partner program that provides business, technical, and marketing support to help businesses create innovative businesses using AWS.

Beyond is also a Select Tier Service Partner within the AWS Partner Network (APN), providing customer experience with AWS-trained and certified personnel.

◆ Main technologies of Beyond AWS cloud integration ◆

We build, operate and maintain cloud environments using a variety of AWS services and products according to the specifications and functions of your systems and applications

Even if you are looking for a service or technology stack that has not yet been used, we have a system in place to always incorporate cutting-edge technologies, so we can select and promote the technology that is best suited to your system or application based on AWS best practices. If you have a request for a service or technology stack that is not listed here, please contact us separately

◆ Beyond AWS Cloud Integration Flow ◆

We estimate that it will take 10 to 15 business days from your request for AWS Cloud Integration to the completion of the work and preparation for operation and maintenance. We will provide you with an AWS cloud environment that is optimal for running your systems and applications, in accordance with the infrastructure configuration defined in the design and construction plan

In the operation and maintenance phase, we set up the necessary response items for daily AWS operation, maintenance, and monitoring. We aim to ensure stable operation of the cloud environment through an operation, maintenance, and monitoring system that is prepared for unforeseen circumstances, such as recovery responses for irregular system failures

1. 
   
   1. Check AWS requirements and specifications
   We will first discuss and confirm the requirements, specifications, and schedule for the AWS cloud environment that will serve as the platform for your system and applications, and then define the necessary infrastructure configuration
3. 
   
   2. Fill out the hearing sheet
   Based on the predefined AWS cloud environment requirements, fill in the required information such as the number of server hosts, specifications, OS/middleware, and monitoring alert notification destination
5. 
   
   3. Create an AWS account
   Create an account for AWS cloud services and assign login policies and set access permissions for the AWS cloud environment
7. 
   
   4. AWS Design and Construction
   Based on the AWS service configuration information provided in the interview sheet, we will proceed with setting up the cloud environment and configuring subnets, security policies, etc
9. 
   
   5. OS/middleware settings
   We install and configure the OS, middleware, and modules that correspond to the system and application specifications. We also tune the middleware as needed
11. 
    
    6. Monitoring Server Connection Permission
    We will configure port connections and SSH logins from the monitoring server and install monitoring agents for the AWS cloud/server environment that will be the target of operation, maintenance, and monitoring
13. 
    
    7. Server monitoring item settings
    We will set up the monitoring items required for AWS operation and maintenance, such as Ping monitoring, URL monitoring, process monitoring, resource monitoring, etc. After the monitoring configuration is complete, we will perform a notification test of the monitoring alert
15. 
    
    8. Provide parameter sheets and configuration diagrams
    After AWS construction and monitoring configuration is complete, we will provide you with a parameter sheet and configuration diagram that lists the server settings, monitoring items, etc. After that, we will begin operation, maintenance, and monitoring
17. 
    
    9. Start of AWS operation, maintenance and monitoring
    We have a technical support system with server engineers available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to provide operational support for AWS cloud/servers and handle any system problems that may arise

*The above work content and process are examples. The work content and process for construction, operation, and maintenance may vary depending on various conditions such as the specifications, functions, and configuration of the AWS cloud/server environment. Please contact us for details
