If the internet is the information superhighway, then AWS EC2 is 500 lanes wide. Instead, putting your server on AWS EC2 not only makes it possible to communicate both ways, it makes it blazing fast. When your server’s on your local network only, you’re going to have a hard time communicating in both directions.
Modern applications depend on APIs, which translate information between programs and let them talk directly to each other. But what about all those outside services that want to trade data with your solution? It’s fantastic to be able to work from anywhere, especially when you’ve got a robust FileMaker solution that keeps you from needing a dozen utility applications (excel, word, outlook, etc) to do your work. Logging into FileMaker from a laptop, iPad or iPhone from your local café is more appealing now than it ever has been. AWS EC2 is the world’s largest, fastest, most secure and cost effective way of hosting your FileMaker Server publicly.
This is typically referred to as having a “cloud server” or having your data “on the cloud.” To get your solution up to the cloud, Mandelbrot uses Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud (aka AWS EC2). Publicly hosting your FileMaker solution makes it possible for you (or a webservice like AWS S3, Twilio or eBay) to communicate with your FileMaker data from anywhere with an internet connection.
