Financial institutions need to share files securely with partner banks while maintaining their existing file-based workflows. Many run applications using standard file systems such as Windows SMB or Linux NFS, but when sharing these files with external partners through SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), they traditionally had to copy data between file systems and SFTP […]

Users love the simplicity of AWS Fargate for running containerized workloads without managing servers, scaling infrastructure, or worrying about underlying compute capacity. As users expand their Fargate adoption, they increasingly want to run applications that require block data storage – content management systems like WordPress that retain uploaded media and plugin configurations, retail applications that […]

In today’s cloud-first environment, protecting file storage systems against malware threats is a critical component of any robust security strategy. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server (FSx for Windows) delivers enterprise-grade Windows file storage in AWS, combining the reliability of fully managed services with native Windows file sharing capabilities. Built on Microsoft Windows file system […]

Organizations rely on file storage accessed from traditional, file-based, applications while simultaneously wanting to build modern, cloud-native applications and services that access the same underlying data. Consequently, many cloud-native apps are built to work with Amazon S3. Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently introduced a new capability, S3 Access Points for Amazon FSx which solves challenges […]

Every day, AWS customers process millions of compressed files in Amazon S3, from small ZIP archives to multi-gigabyte datasets. While decompressing a single file is straightforward, processing thousands of files efficiently requires complex orchestration, error handling, and infrastructure management. Consider this scenario: Your organization receives over 10,000 compressed files daily from partners, ranging from 5 […]

Modern containerized applications running on Kubernetes enable organizations to deploy read-heavy workloads—such as machine learning inference, data analytics, and High Performance Computing (HPC)—at unprecedented scale. However, when multiple pods on the same node need to access identical datasets, a performance challenge emerges. Each pod typically fetches files from external storage independently over the network. This […]

Operational excellence isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about delivering consistent availability when customers need it most. Achieving this requires sophisticated, real-time monitoring that tracks key system metrics and storage insights, such as throughput patterns, IOPS utilization, I/O characteristics, and storage distribution. This visibility enables teams to resolve issues proactively, right-size resources, optimize workload placement, and plan […]

Organizations with petabytes of data in the cloud need a way to apply immutable storage protections to data that’s already been stored—whether for regulatory compliance or cyber resilience. Although you can enable write-once-read-many (WORM) controls for newly created storage, applying these protections to existing enterprise data at scale requires a systematic approach. Regulated industries have […]

The fast pace of the logistics industry necessitates real-time vehicle fleet tracking for maintaining a competitive edge and meeting customer expectations. Traditional methods often provide delayed or incomplete information, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. The demand for accurate, up-to-the-minute data on vehicle locations, driver behavior, and route performance has never been higher. Companies need […]
