Managing data protection at scale is a critical challenge for the modern enterprise. As organizations grow, their data becomes increasingly distributed, making it difficult to implement consistent backup policies that ensure comprehensive coverage. IT teams must balance competing needs of compliance requirements, resource protection, and operational efficiency – all while struggling to validate and orchestrate […]

Organizations with multiple branch offices face significant challenges in managing distributed file systems, particularly when dealing with traditional on-premises infrastructure. The complexity of maintaining seamless file sharing across geographically dispersed locations while ensuring robust security, efficient data management, and reliable authentication has become increasingly challenging in today’s digital landscape. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP addresses […]

Organizations across industries must regularly verify the integrity of their stored datasets to protect valuable information, satisfy compliance requirements, and preserve trust. Media and entertainment customers validate assets to make sure that content remains intact, financial institutions run integrity checks to meet regulatory obligations, and research institutions confirm the reproducibility of scientific results. These verifications […]

Understanding Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP Transitioning your business systems and data to the cloud can seem complex, especially if you are new to cloud file storage services. Whether you are moving from traditional on-premises enterprise storage or just getting started in the cloud, sizing your storage correctly is key to avoiding future issues. The […]

Log rotation is a standard operational practice for maintaining system health and performance while managing storage costs effectively. This practice involves systematically archiving log files to prevent them from consuming excessive storage. When a log file reaches a certain size or age, it’s rotated—meaning the current file is archived with a new name and a […]

Amazon S3 is the best place to build data lakes because of its durability, availability, scalability, and security. In 2023, we introduced Mountpoint for Amazon S3, an open source file client that allows Linux-based applications to access S3 objects through a file API. Shortly after, we took this one step further with the Mountpoint for […]

Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. For users running applications and workloads on Kubernetes, protecting resources and data from accidental deletion or hardware failures is crucial for maintaining business continuity and meeting compliance requirements. While Kubernetes provides high availability through its control plane […]

On premises customers using NetApp storage arrays in their own data centers often have strict network and firewall access control rules in place to secure their data, but this type of security usually introduces Network Address Translation (NAT) into the path between the arrays. ONTAP, either on-premises or in the cloud, requires storage clusters to […]

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, Security Operations Center (SOC) teams face significant challenges in efficiently analyzing audit logs to identify potential security breaches in cloud file systems. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server generates comprehensive audit logs capturing detailed user activities, but traditional manual analysis of these logs is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and often ineffective […]

When storing data, choosing the storage class that is best suited for your particular needs allows you to optimize your storage costs, performance, and object availability. However, over time, the access patterns for your objects can change, which means you may need to migrate your objects to a different storage class to continue optimize for […]
