Amazon S3 on Outposts

S3 on Outposts makes it easy to deploy object storage on-premises because your Outpost comes delivered with S3 capacity installed and is monitored, patched, and updated by AWS. Capacity can be selected in 26TB, 48TB, 96 TB, 240TB, or 380TB. With S3 on Outposts you can reduce the time, resources, operational risk, and maintenance downtime required for managing storage.

Process and securely store data locally in your on-premises environment and transfer data to S3 in an AWS Region for further processing or archival. S3 on Outposts provides on-premises object storage to minimize data transfers and buffer from network variations, while providing you the ability to easily transfer data between Outposts and AWS Regions by using AWS DataSync.

S3 on Outposts uses the same S3 APIs on-premises as in the cloud for features like policy based access control, encryption, lifecycle expiration actions, and tagging on-premises as in the cloud. Unlike other hybrid solutions that require use of different APIs, manual software updates, and purchase of third-party hardware and support, S3 on Outposts delivers a consistent hybrid experience.

Meet data residency, regulatory, or compliance requirements by storing and retrieving your data on-premises using S3 on Outposts. With S3 on Outposts, you can meet data residency, regulatory, or compliance requirements by keeping data on-premises, and also take advantage of the agility, costs, and innovation that AWS can deliver. S3 on Outposts enables customers to meet data residency or regulatory requirements by keeping data on an Outpost on-premises within a country, state/province, or location where there is not an AWS Region today.

For on-premises applications that require high-throughput local processing, such as medical imaging in hospitals, autonomous vehicle data capture, and manufacturing processes, S3 on Outposts can process and store data locally to satisfy these demanding workloads. S3 on Outposts provides local object storage to minimize data transfers and buffer from network variations, and with DataSync you can easily schedule data transfers using between an AWS Region and an Outpost.

For customers building or testing applications on-premises before eventually moving these applications to an AWS Region, they can now minimize the changes required to their applications. S3 on Outposts provides an intermediate step in the cloud migration journey, because S3 on Outposts delivers the ability to build portable applications on Outposts on-premises that can easily be moved to AWS.
