Amazon S3 Announces Enhanced Support for Reduced Redundancy Storage

Posted on: Jul 14, 2010

We are excited to announce enhancements to Amazon S3’s Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) option: Notifications for RRS object loss and RRS support in the AWS Management Console. Customers using the console can now select the RRS storage option when uploading new files and can easily move a set of objects or even an entire folder from Standard storage to RRS. Additionally, Amazon S3 customers can now configure their bucket so that when Amazon S3 detects the loss of an RRS object, a notification will be sent through Amazon Simple Notification Service. For more information on RRS, visit the Amazon S3 detail page.
