Amazon S3 stores exabytes of data, trillions of objects, and peaks regularly at millions of requests per second. It has set the standard for object storage across the globe. If you’re reading this blog, you probably have data stored in Amazon S3. This could be financial services, life sciences, or media and entertainment data. Perhaps […]

While re:Invent 2020-2021 is a departure in format from previous years, the purpose is still the same: to educate and inspire you to build, simplify, and modernize with AWS. This year I was happy to present in a re:Invent session on modernizing your on-premises backup strategy with AWS. In my session, I discussed how organizations […]

Managing shared storage for file-based workloads on-premises is often complex, difficult to scale, and costly. At re:Invent 2018, we launched Amazon FSx, which makes it easy and cost effective to launch and scale popular file systems that are fully managed by AWS. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is the first and only fully managed […]

The biggest cloud computing event of the year has begun! As you’re most likely aware of by now, re:Invent 2020-2021 is a FREE, 3-week virtual conference taking place from Nov 30 – Dec 18 and Jan 12 – 14. We wanted to make sure we ended 2020 offering you a ton of educational AWS content […]

Enterprises often operate on-premises file servers or Network Attached Storage (NAS) to provide a centralized solution for storing and accessing user and enterprise data, such as workflow backups. Most organizations acknowledge that having a centralized solution has its practical advantages, but it also comes with inherent challenges of setting up and maintaining storage infrastructure at […]
