Managing data access across multiple layers of permissions is a common industry challenge. Changes to AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM) policies, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket configurations, AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key policies, or Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) endpoint policies can unintentionally cause access issues. When these […]

Organizations processing large-scale data for analytics, machine learning (ML), and business intelligence face a persistent challenge: how to access and read massive datasets quickly and cost-effectively. As data volumes grow exponentially, the performance of data access patterns becomes more critical. Inefficient read operations can lead to longer processing times, higher compute costs, and delayed insights, […]

Providing a copy of production data to developers, testers, or disaster recovery (DR) teams quickly is a common operational challenge our customers face. Whether it’s a daily database refresh for a support environment, a one-time troubleshooting session that requires real-world data, or a disaster recovery drill that needs to run against a current replica, the […]

Organizations today face increasing pressure to protect their backup data against ransomware events and accidental deletions. Although air-gapped storage provides strong protection for backups, implementing it traditionally requires maintaining multiple copies of data which increases costs and adds complexity. This can force organizations to compromise between meeting strict security requirements and managing storage costs, either […]

Every day, organizations expand into new markets, migrate critical workloads across geographies, and build systems that need to operate reliably in multiple locations. At the root of these efforts is a simple question: “What can I deploy, and where?” The answer shapes important architecture decisions, from which AWS Regions to expand into, to how you […]

When customers choose to run self-managed Oracle databases in the cloud, one of the fundamental decisions they make is where to store their data. Although many deployments use locally attached block storage, there’s a compelling alternative: running Oracle on a network file system such as Amazon FSx for OpenZFS. Shifting database storage from local disks […]

Learn how to use ONTAP security descriptors and policies to apply consistent NTFS permissions across millions of files on Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP reducing remediation time from hours to minutes.

Financial institutions need to share files securely with partner banks while maintaining their existing file-based workflows. Many run applications using standard file systems such as Windows SMB or Linux NFS, but when sharing these files with external partners through SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), they traditionally had to copy data between file systems and SFTP […]

The company provides developer-friendly APIs that enable real-time, structured retrieval from the web. Their mission is to make information instantly accessible for intelligent systems, and they’re trusted by thousands of leading research, commercial AI teams, and enterprises […]

Users love the simplicity of AWS Fargate for running containerized workloads without managing servers, scaling infrastructure, or worrying about underlying compute capacity. As users expand their Fargate adoption, they increasingly want to run applications that require block data storage – content management systems like WordPress that retain uploaded media and plugin configurations, retail applications that […]
