Organizations across industries must regularly verify the integrity of their stored datasets to protect valuable information, satisfy compliance requirements, and preserve trust. Media and entertainment customers validate assets to make sure that content remains intact, financial institutions run integrity checks to meet regulatory obligations, and research institutions confirm the reproducibility of scientific results. These verifications […]

Ransomware events have become a board room priority for modern organizations. The data shows a clear trend: ransomware events have more than doubled since the pandemic began, with the financial services sector experiencing particularly high targeting rates. At Amazon Web Services (AWS), our cross-field collaboration with global financial services customers, regulators, governing bodies and industry […]

Enterprises today face significant challenges securing backup data during incidents. When backup systems share authentication with production environments, compromised credentials can block access to both environments, leaving enterprises vulnerable during recovery. Enterprises with interconnected environments face heightened risk, where single-approval frameworks provide inadequate protection. The integration of the Multi-party approval capability with AWS Backup provides […]

Understanding Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP Transitioning your business systems and data to the cloud can seem complex, especially if you are new to cloud file storage services. Whether you are moving from traditional on-premises enterprise storage or just getting started in the cloud, sizing your storage correctly is key to avoiding future issues. The […]

Anuttacon, an independent research lab, is committed to developing humanistic general intelligence that enables seamless, real-time interactions across text, voice, visuals, and more. Their mission is to create multimodal AI capable of genuine emotional understanding and expressive communication—technology that both thinks […]

Log rotation is a standard operational practice for maintaining system health and performance while managing storage costs effectively. This practice involves systematically archiving log files to prevent them from consuming excessive storage. When a log file reaches a certain size or age, it’s rotated—meaning the current file is archived with a new name and a […]

As businesses evolve, critical applications must remain highly available whether running on traditional virtualized infrastructure or more modern cloud- based environments. These workloads need to be resilient against ransomware attacks, data corruption, infrastructure failures, and regional impairments. Organizations must focus on defining the appropriate recovery objectives, while also minimizing costs. However, implementing disaster recovery can […]

Amazon S3 is the best place to build data lakes because of its durability, availability, scalability, and security. In 2023, we introduced Mountpoint for Amazon S3, an open source file client that allows Linux-based applications to access S3 objects through a file API. Shortly after, we took this one step further with the Mountpoint for […]

Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. For users running applications and workloads on Kubernetes, protecting resources and data from accidental deletion or hardware failures is crucial for maintaining business continuity and meeting compliance requirements. While Kubernetes provides high availability through its control plane […]

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 […]
