Large global organizations often struggle to efficiently manage data copies across different geographic regions when using distributed object storage services. Although several approaches exist for cross-region data writing, common solutions such as data replication or streaming can be costly and introduce latency issues. Many customers have core services deployed globally across multiple Amazon Web Services […]

Data scientists and engineers spend hours writing complex data pipelines to extract, transform, and load (ETL) data from various sources into their data lakes for data integration and creating unified data models to build business insights. The process involves understanding the source and target systems, discovering schemas, mapping source and target, writing and testing ETL […]

Organizations face mounting challenges in managing and operationalizing their ever-growing data assets for machine learning and analytics workflows. When dealing with billions and trillions of objects, teams struggle to find what data they have and how to efficiently find specific datasets. Without proper data discovery and metadata management, teams spend valuable time searching for relevant […]

Modern enterprises routinely manage billions of objects across their cloud storage environments, needing efficient bulk operations for disaster recovery, compliance management, data transfer, and cost optimization. Performing these operations manually or through custom scripts becomes impractical at scale, often creating operational bottlenecks when time-sensitive actions are necessary. Organizations frequently need to identify and process specific […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Data has become the lifeblood of modern financial markets, driving everything from investment decisions to regulatory compliance. Nowhere is this more evident than in electronic trading, where the ability to efficiently store, process, and analyze historical market data can make the difference between success and failure. Market participants are witnessing an unprecedented surge in tick […]

Organizations must safeguard their backup infrastructure against evolving cyber threats. A comprehensive backup and recovery strategy needs three fundamental pillars: immutability with isolation to prevent tampering and ensure separation, integrity validation to ensure backup reliability, and predictable availability when needed. These pillars form the foundation of effective data protection. Immutability with isolation ensures that backups […]
