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 data-driven world, organizations are migrating mission-critical databases to the cloud for better performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency. Amazon Aurora DSQL, a serverless distributed SQL database, is purpose-built for always available applications with virtually unlimited scale, the highest availability, and zero infrastructure management. As customers adopt Aurora DSQL, ensuring comprehensive data protection becomes critical to […]

Modern cybersecurity teams are facing unprecedented challenges in data analysis by the scale, complexity, and velocity of data. Cloud environments continuously generate massive amounts information in form of access logs, configuration changes, alerts, and telemetry. Traditional analysis methods of looking at these data points in isolation can’t effectively detect threats such as lateral movement and […]

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 […]

In today’s data-driven world, the ability to interact with your data through natural language is becoming increasingly valuable. By combining the power of conversational AI with Amazon S3 Tables, organizations can democratize data access and enable individuals across technical skill levels to query, analyze, and gain insights from their data using simple conversations. Model Context […]

If you work with data storage and data protection, then you’re aware of the “3-2-1 rule.” System administrators consider the 3-2-1 rule a best practice for backup and disaster recovery (DR), and it is recommended by US-CERT. The 3-2-1 rule states that you should have three copies of your data (your production data and two […]

Enterprises today manage hundreds of access policies across their expanding cloud environments. As they scale their cloud infrastructure, maintaining visibility into policy changes becomes increasingly important. Central security teams can enhance their cloud governance by implementing comprehensive monitoring of access policies. This approach supports compliance efforts while strengthening overall resource security across their environments. Users […]

Your VMware workloads contain critical data that drives business decisions and powers your operations. Maintaining the availability and resilience of your data is a top priority where potential disasters such as ransomware threats, catastrophic hardware failures, and natural calamities, can lead to costly downtime and data loss. To address these challenges, all businesses require strategic […]

Organizations managing data lakes often require additional infrastructure to support concurrent writes from multiple applications. Traditional approaches require external systems for coordination, adding infrastructure overhead, costs, and potential performance bottlenecks. Developers typically implement client-side locking mechanisms using databases or dedicated lock services, resulting in complex multi-step workflows. Amazon S3 offers capabilities to address these concurrent […]
