When was the last time you found yourself trying to look at rows and rows of data in a spreadsheet struggling to interpret and draw conclusions? Many analysts and engineers experience the same challenge every day. Whether it’s analyzing sales trends, monitoring operational metrics, or understanding customer behavior, the challenge lies not just in interpreting […]

Health plans process billions of claims electronically each year. Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) estimates that approximately 10% of claims still arrive as paper documents, accounting for hundreds of millions of paper submissions annually in the U.S. These paper claims create processing bottlenecks and consume a disproportionate share of operational costs and resources, with […]

Data caching is a critical strategy for optimizing application performance in today’s data-intensive environments. By storing frequently accessed information in high-speed storage locations, organizations can dramatically reduce access times, optimize the use of compute resources, and improve overall system responsiveness. Effective caching strategies become particularly essential for workloads that require consistent low latency, such as […]

Over the past two decades, virtualization, specifically VMware was the key technology trend that has helped organizations reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and simplify infrastructure management. However, the technology landscape is rapidly evolving. Cloud service providers now offer advanced hypervisor capabilities that match or exceed traditional on-premises virtualization solutions, while providing seamless integration with a […]

Encryption serves a fundamental role in securing sensitive data both in transit and at rest. Server-side encryption offers simplicity and ease of implementation, with data encrypted where stored, and enables seamless integration with other services. In contrast, client-side encryption secures data where ingested or created, and offers additional capabilities to meet specific security requirements around […]

Pendulum is an AI-powered analytics platform that aggregates and analyzes real-time data from social media, news, and podcasts. Designed to help organizations stay ahead, it enables reputation monitoring, early crisis detection, and influencer activity tracking. Using machine learning (ML) enables Pendulum to surface key insights from multiple channels, providing a comprehensive view of the digital […]

Amazon S3 redefined data storage when it launched as the first generally available AWS service in 2006 to deliver highly reliable, durable, secure, low-latency storage with virtually unlimited scale. While designed to deliver simple storage, S3 has proven to be built to handle the explosive growth of data we have seen in the last 19 […]

In a layered security strategy like a defense-in-depth, when prevention fails, mitigation becomes critical. Most AWS storage services use immutable storage and recovery from backup to mitigate the impact of ransomware. Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) is a new security feature of Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP (FSx for ONTAP), a fully managed service that provides […]

When migrating file shares to AWS, users need a direct and efficient solution for transferring their data. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server provides fully managed shared storage built on Windows Server, and delivers a wide range of data access, data management, and administrative capabilities. There are a few different choices for migration. AWS DataSync […]

Data resilience underpins disaster recovery (DR) and cyber resilience strategies, yet many organizations stumble with an incomplete approach: they diligently back up critical workloads but rarely confirm those backups can be restored. This gap can unravel into costly shocks—like an application owner learning their database restore overshoots a four-hour Recovery Time Objective (RTO), triggering hours […]
