Providing predictable storage performance for mission critical applications can be challenging. Doing so involves dealing with complex configurations in your storage systems to get the performance you need, such as by striping multiple disks or volumes together, or by investing in expensive storage hardware. None of these configurations are flexible, and it is hard to […]

As a critical part of data protection and disaster recovery (DR) readiness, backing up data is an integral part of data storage in the cloud or otherwise. AWS customers use Amazon EBS snapshots, which are point-in-time backups of EBS volumes, as part of their data protection strategy in the cloud, often as part of their […]

“Fundamentally, every business today is a data business.” – Mai-Lan Tomsen Bukovec In today’s interconnected and digital world, businesses must make decisions quickly, and they must be right. To stay competitive, companies have to leverage data lakes as the foundation for agile business decision making, analytics, and even AI/ML decisions. At the core of this […]

Many customers use applications from the AWS Partner ecosystem for a range of use cases, including data lakes, data analytics, data warehousing, backup and restore, archive, and more. Certain security-conscious applications running in on-premises data centers need private access to Amazon S3 without going over the internet or using public IPs. Traditionally, to achieve this […]

VMware Cloud on AWS is a jointly engineered solution by VMware and AWS that brings VMware’s Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) technologies to the global AWS infrastructure. If you have workloads with varying storage requirements, it’s important to understand the storage options available and how they could work best for different scenarios. The service offers VMware […]

Data is an organization’s lifeblood—and more vulnerable than ever to breach, attacks, and disastrous loss. Yet too many companies aren’t acting as quickly or effectively on their disaster recovery (DR) strategy as they should, due to constraints in funding, staffing, and resources, amongst other things. At ePlus, we help organizations navigate their technology options – […]

One of the design patterns for high availability of mission critical applications is the use of shared storage. This architectural pattern enables you to access storage from multiple hosts simultaneously, making your applications resilient to node failures. Customers with demanding transaction processing systems, analytics workloads, or high performance computing clusters need highly available, high-performance storage […]

At AWS re:Invent 2019, AWS launched Amazon EBS direct APIs. This feature enables AWS customers to list the blocks in an EBS snapshot, compare the differences between two EBS snapshots, and directly read data from EBS snapshots. To perform these tasks before AWS released the EBS direct APIs, you would need to launch temporary Amazon […]

Mission-critical applications relying on highly performant and low latency access to data (such as business intelligence platforms) require resilient and highly available (HA) architecture. Implementing active-active and active-standby architectures with shared storage in cloud environments is now possible with introduction of EBS Multi-Attach enabled EBS volumes. Multi-Attach, coupled with Cluster Volume Manager (CVM), offers functionality […]

Many customers are using Veeam Backup & Replication to protect their on-premises infrastructure and want to reduce the amount of physical backup infrastructure that they need to purchase and maintain. They also want to ensure that their backups reside in highly durable, cost effective storage. AWS Storage services such as Amazon S3, AWS Storage Gateway, […]
