As customers scale their business on AWS, they can have millions to billions of objects in their Amazon S3 buckets. Customers often run operations on a large number of these objects in their buckets, including copying objects across accounts, encrypting objects, or tagging. Running operations on a large number of objects in S3 involves listing […]

For AWS Storage Gateway customers, keeping file shares up to date with changes in Amazon S3 buckets is important to ensure that users are not accessing stale data on their file shares. Previously, customers would either initiate a cache refresh for their file shares manually using an API or by managing a process that does […]

Proactively monitoring your AWS Storage Gateway can keep you notified about performance issues and resource constraints if your workloads change over time. Monitoring can be used to indicate if you have network constraints, if the allocated cache storage is not sufficient, or if your root disk is not optimally handling increased workloads. In this post, […]

Disaster recovery (DR) is a critical element of a company’s business continuity plan, enabling the quick resumption of IT operations and minimizing data loss if a disaster were to strike. Organizations often carry a high operational and cost burden to ensure continued operation of their applications, and databases in case of disaster. This includes operating […]

Organizations are modernizing their applications by adopting containers and microservices-based architectures. Many customers are deploying high-performance workloads on containers to power microservices architecture, and require access to low latency and high throughput shared storage from these containers. Because containers are transient in nature, these long-running applications require data to be stored in durable storage. Amazon FSx […]

Data continues to grow exponentially worldwide, and protecting and preserving data is critical for all organizations. Some of our customers are engaged in multi-year journeys to the cloud, and they continue to manage and maintain on-premises storage infrastructure in a hybrid cloud model. For data protection and to meet long-term retention requirements, many organizations spend […]

AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage service that gives you on-premises access to virtually unlimited cloud storage. When Storage Gateway is deployed, it must communicate back to the Storage Gateway-managed service hosted in that AWS Region for both management and data movement. This is the case whether Storage Gateway is deployed on-premises or […]

A large majority of data is unstructured files, and a large percentage of applications are designed around file storage. Most of these applications have an architectural requirement to use a shared file system. A self-managed shared file system solution requires a lot of heavy lifting. This includes getting and provisioning compute and storage resources, networking, […]
