Semiconductor verification teams run thousands of simulation jobs every night using Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. A large verification environment can generate logs from 100,000 or more test executions per night. A single regression cycle produces simulation logs, compilation logs, and scheduler logs. For a regression with dozens of failures, manual triage typically takes 45–60 […]

Enterprise storage underpins every critical workload in a VMware environment. It’s not just capacity, it’s the operational backbone that delivers automatic failover, instant snapshots, writable clones, inline deduplication, and multi-protocol access that production applications depend on every day. When the time comes to migrate these workloads to the cloud, teams expect those same capabilities on […]

Machine learning (ML) models used for inference on Kubernetes are often several gigabytes in size. When these models are embedded in container images, images become oversized and pod scheduling slows. More critically, inference pods are inherently stateful. Model weights, tokenizer files, compiled GPU kernels, and runtime caches must persist across pod restarts, node failures, and […]

Learn how to configure ONTAP tree quotas on Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP to enforce per-workload capacity boundaries within a shared volume. This post walks through creating qtrees, defining quota policy rules with hard limits, soft limits, and thresholds, activating enforcement, and monitoring consumption using native quota reports and EMS events.

Organizations are increasingly adopting cloud-based identity solutions to reduce infrastructure overhead and improve their security posture. For customers running file workloads on AWS, both Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Amazon FSx for Windows File Server require joining a Microsoft Active Directory domain to serve SMB file shares and support Windows-based authentication. When customers have […]

As more organizations adopt Diskless Kafka—a cloud-based messaging queue that builds entirely on object storage like Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)—they gain significant cost and operational advantages. But for latency-sensitive workloads, this architecture faces a key question: how to keep millisecond-level write latency while preserving the cost benefits of S3? This is the core […]

Learn how to use CIFS share-level access controls with qtrees on Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP to enforce per-team access boundaries within a shared volume, preventing unauthorized share access and simplifying access management through Active Directory group membership.

Managing storage efficiently in a multi-user environment is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of cloud infrastructure design. When you combine AWS Transfer Family with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, you unlock a robust, enterprise-grade file transfer solution. However, without effective quota controls, a single user or process can consume disproportionate storage, leading to performance […]

Enterprise storage administrators manage hundreds of terabytes, and sometimes petabytes, of file data spanning business units, applications, and users. As that storage grows, so does the challenge of understanding what is actually stored in it. Administrators are asked to make capacity decisions, identify archive candidates, track storage costs, and support compliance reviews — but with […]
