I have a friend, managing own accounting company. It is real SMB segment with less than 10 employees.

He has classic on-premise infrastructure, but is very interested on moving to cloud.

Actual infrastructure state: 0. Windows workstations without AD or any another clever managing.

  1. File server with lot of customer's documents. He mounts the file storage as a drive to all workstations.
  2. On the file server he stores database for accounting software. Every workstation has a client of this software isntalled.
  3. Every 2 hours he makes automatical backup of the database and moves it on NAS.
  4. The NAS manages RAID, so he is sure he always have a backup copy.

Last days he said me, he wants to buy new server. From my point of view the old one is quite enough for his tasks, but he wants :)

I tried to study possible solutions with AWS for him. What I can offer him:

  1. WorkDocs as cloud file storage for customer's documents
  2. File Storage Gateway to store backup in S3 bucket (Glacier).
  3. Possible AWS Backup ?

What do you think about it? Have you any other ideas?
