This post showcases how Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite operators can seamlessly scale their operational ground network—even with an already in-orbit satellite—with Skynopy’s virtualized ground network, powered by AWS.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of academic research, cloud computing and advanced digital services have revolutionized the way scientists collaborate, analyze data, and disseminate findings. AWS is partnering with higher education institutions to revolutionize how research is conducted.

In this post, we explore how Service NSW used AWS services to optimize its backup strategies while maintaining strict compliance requirements. By moving from a straightforward turnkey solution to a sophisticated, tiered approach, Service NSW achieved significant cost savings while enhancing its disaster recovery capabilities. The organization’s innovative use of automation for backup testing sets a new standard for efficient backup validation in large-scale database environments.

What if paper forms could be processed at the same speed as digital forms? What if their contents could be automatically entered in the same database as the digital forms? Medicaid agencies could analyze data in near real-time and drive actionable insights on a single dashboard. Whether a provider submits claims electronically or on paper, the claim could be adjudicated using the same process and analyzed the same way, saving both time and money. AI and ML services from AWS allow Medicaid agencies to create this streamlined solution. Moreover, AWS enables the adoption of solutions like this by providing no code or low code serverless services. Read this post to learn more
