To support their advanced Xfinity X1 platform and provide services to millions of customers, Comcast maintains physical data centers, but the company is increasingly relying on AWS as well; it plans to maintain both going forward. AWS supplies Comcast with resources on demand so that capacity issues in its brick-and-mortar sites can be more readily managed as part of its high-availability strategy. Comcast also employs AWS as a flexible, cost-effective platform for development and prototyping.
