AWS cloud migrations and managed services for Latin American organizations — EC2, S3, RDS, EKS and the full AWS service catalog, plus AWS Bedrock for enterprise AI, delivered by GLADiiUM as your regional AWS partner
Amazon Web Services provides the broadest and deepest cloud service catalog available to Latin American organizations — over 200 services covering compute, storage, databases, networking, analytics, machine learning, security and application services. For Latin American organizations building cloud-native applications, running development and test workloads, or migrating infrastructure that needs maximum flexibility and the widest selection of managed services, AWS is frequently the platform of choice.
AWS has data centers with low-latency access to Latin America primarily from its US-East regions, with São Paulo (sa-east-1) being the only region physically in Latin America. For most Latin American organizations — with the exception of those in Brazil with strict local data residency requirements — US-East AWS regions provide adequate latency for the vast majority of cloud workloads. GLADiiUM delivers AWS migrations, architecture and managed services for organizations across Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica, Miami and Puerto Rico, with specific expertise in AWS Bedrock for AI workloads.
AWS EC2 and Compute
EC2 instance selection and optimization, Auto Scaling Groups, Elastic Load Balancing and AWS Savings Plans for cost optimization. Right-sized compute for Latin American workloads.
AWS Storage and Databases
Amazon RDS (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle), Amazon Aurora and DynamoDB for managed database services. S3 for object storage with S3 Object Lock for Veeam immutable backup.
Containers and Serverless
Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) for containerized workloads, ECS for simpler container deployments, and AWS Lambda for serverless event-driven applications.
AWS Networking
AWS Direct Connect for dedicated connectivity from Latin American data centers to AWS, VPC design and Transit Gateway for multi-account network architectures.
AWS Security Services
AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudTrail and AWS Config for cloud security posture management. Integrates with GLADiiUM's NSOC for security monitoring of AWS environments.
AWS Bedrock IA
AWS Bedrock provides Claude, Llama, Titan, Mistral and other models as fully managed serverless AI APIs. The AWS path to generative AI without managing AI infrastructure.
AWS for Latin American Organizations
Cloud Migration to AWS
GLADiiUM delivers AWS migrations using the AWS Migration Acceleration Program methodology: discovery and assessment with AWS Application Discovery Service, migration planning with AWS Migration Hub, VM migration with AWS MGN (Application Migration Service), database migration with AWS DMS (Database Migration Service), and post-migration optimization with AWS Cost Explorer and Trusted Advisor. For Latin American organizations migrating from on-premise Lenovo ThinkSystem or VMware environments, we design the migration in waves by workload tier — starting with non-production and development workloads, progressing through production applications, and completing with mission-critical systems.
AWS for Development and DevOps Teams
Latin American technology companies and development teams use AWS for its breadth of developer services: CodePipeline and CodeBuild for CI/CD, ECR for container registries, EKS for Kubernetes, and the full AWS SDK ecosystem. For Costa Rican technology companies and BPOs with development teams, GLADiiUM designs AWS landing zones with the account structure, IAM policies and network architecture that support multi-team development without security gaps.
AWS S3 for Veeam Backup
Amazon S3 with S3 Object Lock is the most common cloud backup target for Latin American organizations using Veeam Backup & Replication. Veeam Scale-Out Backup Repository offloads backup data to S3 with Object Lock compliance mode activated, creating immutable backup copies that ransomware cannot delete. GLADiiUM designs and implements Veeam-to-S3 backup architectures, including the IAM policies, S3 bucket configuration and Veeam Scale-Out repository settings required for the 3-2-1-1-0 backup architecture.
AWS for Puerto Rico and Miami
For organizations in Puerto Rico and Miami using AWS, US-East regions (us-east-1, us-east-2) provide the lowest latency and the full AWS service catalog including all AWS Bedrock model availability. Puerto Rico-based organizations benefit from AWS’s HIPAA-eligible services for healthcare workloads and AWS GovCloud eligibility for organizations with federal or defense-adjacent contracts. GLADiiUM manages AWS environments for organizations in both markets from our Coral Gables and Rio Grande offices.
Frequently Asked Questions — AWS Latin America
Does AWS have a data center in Central America?
No. AWS does not have a data center in Central America or Mexico. The closest AWS regions to Central America are US-East-1 (Northern Virginia), US-East-2 (Ohio) and the São Paulo region (sa-east-1) in Brazil. For most Central American workloads, US-East-1 provides acceptable latency (40-80ms from Honduras, Panama and Costa Rica). For workloads requiring the absolute lowest latency or Brazilian data residency, AWS São Paulo is the appropriate region. GLADiiUM designs region selection based on your specific latency requirements and regulatory constraints.
How does AWS pricing compare to Azure for Latin American organizations?
AWS and Azure pricing is broadly comparable for equivalent compute and storage services, with differences depending on specific instance types and configurations. AWS typically has more instance type options and more flexible pricing models (On-Demand, Reserved, Savings Plans, Spot). The more important cost factor for most organizations is which platform aligns with their existing investments: organizations with Microsoft licensing (M365, Windows Server, SQL Server) benefit from Azure Hybrid Benefit discounts that significantly reduce Azure compute costs. Organizations without significant Microsoft investments may find AWS pricing more straightforward. GLADiiUM provides a specific cost comparison for your workloads across both platforms as part of a cloud assessment.
Can GLADiiUM manage AWS environments alongside our on-premise infrastructure?
Yes. GLADiiUM manages hybrid environments: on-premise Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile infrastructure alongside AWS cloud resources, with unified security monitoring from our NSOC covering both. For organizations that run Veeam on-premise with S3 backup targets, we manage the full data protection stack. For organizations using AWS alongside on-premise infrastructure, we design and operate the connectivity (AWS Direct Connect or Site-to-Site VPN) and security controls that make the hybrid environment coherent.
