The technology allows subscribers to have at their disposal a virtual cluster of computers, available all the time, through the Internet.

The browser acts as a window into the virtual computer, letting subscribers log-in, configure and use their virtual systems just as they would a real physical computer. They can choose to deploy their AWS systems to provide internet-based services for themselves and their customers.
