Overview

 

CirrusHQ FastStart works by guiding your needs against an initial pre-defined workload solution that you’d like to trial on AWS.

 

• Public Website – WordPress
• Amazon Workspaces – for trialing remote desktop
• Amazon AppStream – for remote Application solutions
• Storage Solutions – Managing content securely on AWS

 

Choose from many of the workloads and add your custom set of success criteria, for a hands-on demonstration over a 4-week period, fully supported throughout.

 

Once you’ve chosen a workload that best meets your requirements, CirrusHQ will work to engage in a series of meetings, and workshops, to identify, build, and then walkthrough your bespoke solution. A fully supported four week trial period will commence, for hands on experience of your proof of concept solution to test your concept, understand cost and understand how to integrate a solution/workload into your existing landscape.

 

CirrusHQ will assist you to apply for AWS funding to support development and cost of delivery.
