Faced with increasing amounts of data and a tightening economic climate, enterprises are looking to save money on their storage costs by moving rarely needed data to archival storage options. The least costly options require your internal systems to support receiving data back in hours or days, often called asynchronous retrievals. With this time delay, […]

Update (02/13/2024): Consider Amazon S3 Lifecycle transition fees that are charged based on the total number of objects being transitioned, the destination storage class (listed on the Amazon S3 pricing page), as well as the additional metadata charges applied. You can use the S3 pricing calculator to estimate the total upfront and monthly costs by […]

Data is the lifeblood of any modern business. Organizations are storing more copies of their application data than ever before to recover from data loss, repair data corruption or ransomware damage, respond to compliance requests, and become more data driven. Storing more data at reduced cost enables businesses to extract more value and insights to […]

Satellite imagery often comes as large, high-resolution files, and organizations that work with this data typically have high storage costs. Additionally, large imagery files can take time and resources when downloaded for use with machine learning (ML), data analytics tools, or manual analyst review. Using standard compression techniques lets us achieve reductions in file size […]

Every organization around the world has archival data. There is a data archiving need not only for companies that have been around for a while, but also for digital native businesses. Workloads such as medical records, news media content, and manufacturing datasets, often store petabytes – or billions of objects indefinitely. The vast majority of […]

Customers of all sizes, in all industries, are using data lakes to transform data from a cost that must be managed, to a business asset. From time to time, data scientists and business analysts need to restore subsets of historical datasets for longitudinal studies, machine learning retraining, and more. However, users commonly write queries that don’t […]

When managing data storage, it is important to optimize for cost by storing data in the most cost-effective manner based on how often data is used or accessed. For many enterprises, this means using some form of cold storage or archiving for data that is less frequently accessed or used while keeping more frequently used […]

Genomics data is expanding at a rate exceeding Moore’s law according to the National Human Genome Research Institute. As more sequencing data is produced and researchers move from genotyping to whole genome sequencing, the amount of data produced is outpacing on-premises capacity. Organizations need cloud solutions that help manage data movement, storage, and analysis. The […]

In distributed architectures, there is often a need to preserve application logs, and for AWS customers preservation is often done via an Amazon S3 bucket. The logs may contain information on runtime transactions, error/failure states, or application metrics and statistics. These logs are later used in business intelligence to provide useful insights and generate dashboards, […]
