“While standard cloud setups run on virtual machines you must manage yourself, Othos’ AWS cluster uses native AWS services — delivering higher uptime, effortless maintenance, and seamless failover across regions.”
When it comes to cloud hosting, not all implementations are created equal. Many telecom and VoIP providers rely on a standard cloud setup — spinning up virtual machines and running everything inside them. While that approach can work, it puts the burden of maintenance, updates, and resilience entirely on the provider.
At Othos Telecom, we took a different path. Our AWS cluster architecture is built on the foundation of Amazon’s global services — not just virtual machines. This design gives us a level of stability, flexibility, and uptime that traditional setups simply can’t match.
The Problem with Standard Cloud Hosting
In a standard cloud environment, all your services — database, storage, proxy, and applications — run on virtual machines (VMs).
While easy to deploy, this model has several limitations:
You must manually manage OS and security updates.
If one machine fails, services go down until it’s replaced.
Scaling or relocating services often means downtime.
This approach ties your entire system’s reliability to a few machines, making it harder to ensure true business continuity.
Our AWS Cluster: Built for True Resilience
Instead of relying on a handful of virtual machines, Othos’ AWS cluster leverages dedicated AWS services for each system component:
Database: Managed AWS RDS clusters for automatic replication and failover.
Storage: AWS S3 and EFS ensure redundant, high-availability data access.
Proxy & Load Balancing: AWS Elastic Load Balancer and CloudFront manage traffic distribution seamlessly.
Networking: AWS Route 53 and private VPCs guarantee optimal routing and security.
Because these services are native AWS components, they automatically handle scaling, maintenance, and redundancy — allowing our engineers to focus on optimizing performance rather than patching servers.
Uptime and Continuity, Without the Downtime
This architecture translates directly into better uptime and faster recovery for our customers.
When AWS experienced performance degradation at the Cape Town data center, we seamlessly migrated our database to the Johannesburg POP — without affecting active customers or ongoing calls.
Once Cape Town was stable again, we switched back with zero disruption.
That’s the kind of resilience you only get when your system is built from the ground up using AWS’ modular infrastructure.
Designed for Global Flexibility
Another key advantage of our setup is geographic agility. Because every service is containerized and linked to AWS’ global backbone, we can migrate workloads between AWS POPs in South Africa or overseas — ensuring performance continuity even in the rare event of a regional issue.
This also positions Othos for international growth, with the ability to expand into new territories without re-architecting the entire platform.
In Summary
Traditional cloud systems work — but they come with limitations in scalability, maintenance, and uptime.
Othos’ AWS cluster removes those barriers by using the best of AWS’ managed infrastructure, ensuring:
99.99% uptime
Automatic redundancy and recovery
Faster performance across regions
No downtime during migrations or maintenance
It’s cloud hosting, done the right way — smarter, faster, and more resilient.
