HIPAA Hosting with Amazon Web Service

Among the zillion costly HIPAA hosting providers, AWS is one of the best possible, affordable HIPAA hosting provider. The hosting services are so much of junk with advertisements that a lot of good services lke Amazon get hidden. Unfortunately, its also because Amazon doesn't offer a business ready HIPAA solution. Whoever wants a HIPAA hosting need to rent their infrastructure and build on it on their on.  Yes its a bit complex but the cost would be much less than buying it from another hosting provider. Apart from that, you get the flexibility to design the mechanisms according the the needs of your organization too. If you are good with cloud service programming then by using the services like Elastic Cloud and Amazon DB you could design the perfect HIPAA compliant hosting service for you enterprise. All you have to do is after creating the basic hosting infrastructure, add the security configurations necessary as per the HIPAA Guidelines, this step involves adding secure storage, automated periodic back-up and encryption on the fly. Most of these services are provided by Amazon Web Service already.
