6 Benefits of Using AWS Managed Services for Your Company
Computing technologies have always been viewed as more of a challenge than a means of gaining a competitive advantage, but there is one drawback: they are costly and indispensable. Computing technologies necessitate a skilled and specialized workforce that is difficult to find and keep.
This task is made a little easier, more effective, and more efficient with managed services.
"Managed services" refers to proactive outsourcing of specific processes and functions (service) to improve business operations and cut costs. A managed service provider is a business that provides managed services to its customers on a subscription basis.
MSPs, in most situations, manage an organization's IT infrastructure and end-user systems, which are covered by service level agreements.
We, Skynats, an AWS certified managed service provider, have helped several SMEs realize the benefits of managed services.
The following are the most notable key advantages of using managed services for your business, out of the lots of benefits they provide:
1. Cost-Effective Service
You will only pay for the services provided by a managed service provider, not for fixed salaries for in-house IT personnel, regardless of the measure of utility.
A managed service provider provides a unique and specialized team of IT experts whose services are available on-demand based on the organization's needs. Besides being convenient in terms of timing, MSP teams have a superior set of skills and expertise, which cannot be obtained from an internal resource without hefty salaries and competitive employee benefits.
As a result, outsourcing services not only reduces personnel costs but also allows you to budget more successfully because it offers predictable monthly expenses for planned services, making business costs more comprehensible and simpler to calculate.
2. Scalability and Stability
As a company grows, its main goal should be to meet daily market demands. Market demands, on the other hand, are quite dynamic, with rapid shifts in preferences and interests. Enterprises should be able to modify and scale their existing infrastructures and resources to support business growth and stability as their client base grows.
High-quality MSPs, such as AWS Managed Services, proactively investigate and address your technical issues to keep your business productive and stable.
Change requests, patch management, monitoring, security, and backup are all automated with AWS Managed Services, which also provides full-lifecycle services to provision, run, and support your infrastructure. AWS Managed Services relieves you of day-to-day infrastructure operations and implements best-in-class infrastructure management practices while lowering operational costs and risks.
3. Network Security
Malware, particularly ransomware, is a slew of threats that affect businesses of all sizes and industries all over the world. Ransomware will attack a business every 14 seconds by the end of 2019, as per Cybersecurity Ventures; it does not include threats on individuals, but only businesses.
By 2020, cyberattacks on healthcare organizations are expected to quadruple, with global damage costs from ransomware attacks expected to reach $11.5 billion per year.
By 2021, cybercrime will have cost the world more than $6 trillion per year, up from $3 trillion in 2015. By 2021, ransomware is expected to worsen and account for a larger proportion of total cybercrime.
MSPs provide reliable security solutions to keep infrastructure networks safe from threats and intrusions. They provide proactive support and remote monitoring 24x7 to anticipate threats and mitigate damage before it occurs. AWS Managed Services provides multi-layered virus protection, device discovery, server and desktop management, backup, and disaster recovery services to ensure that your network system is protected from all threats.
4. Increased Operational Effectiveness
Using a managed service provider to supplement your in-house staff is a great way to improve the efficiency of your business operations.
Employees may be required to address the growing importance of IT competence as an organization grows, which would go beyond their designated job roles. Employees would be required to judiciously allot time and proficiency to focus on primary job responsibilities as IT priorities increased.
Managed IT services relieve the internal team of the monotonous but necessary IT tasks and activities, allowing them to focus on strategic planning engagement and innovative endeavors. Enterprises and their employees would be free of worries about mundane management and surveillance tasks with an outsourced expert team completely dedicated to maintaining and monitoring infrastructure networks.
MSPs, with their seasoned knowledge of the latest advancements and extensive experience in infrastructure management, can serve as a complement to your internal personnel when used properly.
5. Updates and backups regularly
The time and effort required to track and install updates, as well as to perform regular backups, may appear to be a high-cost liability, particularly for small businesses.
MSPs serve as a direct replacement for manual labor in charge of overseeing updates and backup for SMEs whose resources are focused on core revenue-generating business operations.
By providing a secure and compliant operating model with day-to-day infrastructure management, compliance control, cost optimization, security, and backup, AWS Managed Services takes care of installing updates and performing regular backups on behalf of businesses.
You can concentrate on your changing business priorities, safe in the knowledge that your updates and backups are being diligently handled.
6. Governance & Compliance
Regardless of your industry or type of business, you will be confronted with a variety of IT firms and privacy regulations that will keep you on your toes. Though compliance requires a company to exercise due diligence in protecting its digital assets, it focuses on the demands of a third party, such as the government, a security constitution, or even a client's contractual terms.
Having an in-house team to keep your company compliant with the rules is a time-consuming and risky proposition, especially when considering the obligations and responsibilities of the various employees. If you don't have a dedicated resource dedicated to security and compliance, it's a good idea to hire board-managed service providers to handle compliance.
Conclusion
With AWS Managed Services, you can rest assured that your business will receive the expert IT support it requires to stay competitive.

Pdf2gerb: Perl Script Converts PDF Files to Gerber format
pdf2gerb
Perl script converts PDF files to Gerber format
Pdf2Gerb generates Gerber 274X photoplotting and Excellon drill files from PDFs of a PCB. Up to three PDFs are used: the top copper layer, the bottom copper layer (for 2-sided PCBs), and an optional silk screen layer. The PDFs can be created directly from any PDF drawing software, or a PDF print driver can be used to capture the Print output if the drawing software does not directly support output to PDF.
The general workflow is as follows:
- Design the PCB using your favorite CAD or drawing software.
- Print the top and bottom copper and top silk screen layers to a PDF file.
- Run Pdf2Gerb on the PDFs to create Gerber and Excellon files.
- Use a Gerber viewer to double-check the output against the original PCB design.
- Make adjustments as needed.
- Submit the files to a PCB manufacturer.
Please note that Pdf2Gerb does NOT perform DRC (Design Rule Checks), as these will vary according to individual PCB manufacturer conventions and capabilities. Also note that Pdf2Gerb is not perfect, so the output files must always be checked before submitting them. As of version 1.6, Pdf2Gerb supports most PCB elements, such as round and square pads, round holes, traces, SMD pads, ground planes, no-fill areas, and panelization. However, because it interprets the graphical output of a Print function, there are limitations in what it can recognize (or there may be bugs).
See docs/Pdf2Gerb.pdf for install/setup, config, usage, and other info.
