Replicate objects Using AWS DataSync with Amazon S3 compatible storage on Snowball Edge
Users have successfully leveraged Amazon Web Services (AWS) Snow Family to transfer petabytes of data between on premises and AWS Regions since its launch in 2015 with the AWS Snowball device. Increasingly, users are not just migrating data with the AWS Snow Family but now are using AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized devices to host […]
Automating application-consistent Amazon EBS Snapshots for InterSystems IRIS databases
InterSystems, an AWS Partner Network (APN) partner, provides a cloud-based data platform optimized for high-throughput applications that must simultaneously process transactions and a range of analytics, including analytic SQL, business rules, and machine learning. Users use the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform to rapidly develop and deploy critical applications. InterSystems recommends that users consider several backup […]
Capture and transfer petabytes from disconnected environments with AWS Snowball
Do you need to capture terabytes or petabytes of data from the field, but struggle to offload the data efficiently, keep up with storage capacity, and maintain equipment in extreme environmental conditions? We commonly hear these challenges from customers who are capturing data in remote locations for future analysis. It is time consuming to offload […]
Enhance savings for read-heavy workloads with Amazon S3 Bucket Keys
Organizations continue to grow their data lakes in the cloud as they build out new and innovative analytics, machine-learning, and generative AI workloads. At the same time, these workloads often access data that requires compliance with stringent data security and privacy standards. These compliance frameworks typically specify additional requirements for encryption at-rest, which leads customers […]
Effectively track AWS data transfer costs for cross-region Amazon EBS Snapshot Copy
To safeguard data against natural disasters and ransomware attacks, many AWS users opt to protect their data by creating snapshots and replicating them to different AWS Regions. It is crucial for these users to monitor snapshots and associated data transfers for inter-regional costs, allowing them to provide accurate chargebacks to both internal and external stakeholders. […]
Managing storage on Windows servers with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP
Users who choose to migrate workloads to the cloud prefer to do so without modifying application code and without being required to learn new methods for managing data. Ideally they are seeking a cloud service with like-for-like functionality, and management similar to their on-premises infrastructure. The goal is to accelerate migration and deployment in the […]
Migrating Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage to Amazon S3 using AWS DataSync
Users face challenges in their digital transformation journey involving the migration of data across various platforms, on-premises file systems, and other cloud services. When using other cloud providers, scenarios arise where the seamless transfer of data becomes essential. Whether executing a one-time data transfer or integrating it into a scheduled workflow, minimizing business downtime is […]
Understand Amazon S3 data transfer costs by classifying requests with Amazon Athena
Cost is top of mind for many enterprises, and building awareness of different cost contributors is the first step toward managing costs and improving efficiency. Costs for transferring data may segregate into common but low cost and less frequent but higher cost groups. Data about these two groups is mixed together, and separating them enables […]
Optimizing MMAP workloads on Amazon FSx for Lustre file systems
One of the primary benefits of using memory mapping (MMAP) in applications is saving memory on the client, sharing data amongst multiple threads and processes, and reducing file system impact to the application. Users are constantly looking for ways to improve application performance, and often this means diving deep into their workloads’ storage profiles to […]
Streamline data management at scale by automating the creation of Amazon S3 Batch Operations jobs
Over time, Enterprises may need to undertake operations or make modifications to their data as part of general data management, to address changing business needs, or to comply with evolving data-management regulations and best practices. As datasets being generated, stored, and analyzed continue to grow exponentially, the need for simplified, scalable, and reproduceable data management […]
