Modern applications are expected to be available every minute of every day. Achieving the highest levels of availability requires more than setting up redundant hardware, networking, power, and other infrastructure components. You need to architect from the ground up to ensure availability in the event of natural disasters and technology failures. On-premises, this involves setting […]

Businesses today rely heavily on their file server infrastructure to store, manage, and share mission-critical data. However, maintaining and scaling these environments can be a complex and resource-intensive task. As customer needs and data volumes continue to grow, organizations often face the need to modernize their file server infrastructure. When migrating to Amazon FSx for […]

International Data Corporation (IDC)1 predicts that global data creation and consumption will surge to 175 zettabytes (ZB) by 2025.

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 […]

Do you ever wonder how you can keep up with incoming requests for increased storage capacity without having to expand data center footprint, increase utility spend, and continually handle hardware refresh cycles? Customers are looking to free up space from on-premises storage systems or other clouds, whether it is for existing archival datasets, transitioning their […]

Due to need to control costs in the face of exponential data growth, doing more with existing on-premise resources while minimizing their growth has become ever more important. Most organizations would like to enjoy the benefits of the cloud while leveraging their existing on-premise file assets to create a highly resilient hybrid enterprise file share. […]

Customers use VMware to power their business critical applications on premises. As they adopt cloud, they leverage VMware Cloud on AWS as a vehicle to migrate without refactoring their applications. Customers will still need to protect their application data, provide disaster recovery from events, and migrate data if needed. For a large-scale migration with limited […]

Enterprises have been using AWS as the cloud portion of their hybrid architectures since AWS was born thirteen years ago, and we have built out the broadest and deepest set of hybrid architecture functionality to extend AWS services to on-premises and edge locations. Today, we reached another milestone with the launch of block storage on […]
