Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Storing your data on AWS Cloud doesn't need to be complicated. Get answers to common storage, backup, and recovery questions.

The cloud provides instant access to affordable storage that you can scale up or down as needed. You make no new investments in equipment and pay only for the storage you use.

Data and system redundancy means your data is always available in the cloud. AWS oversees regular infrastructure updates and refreshes, so you’re always using the latest technology without any additional cost or operational burden to your business.
 

There are several main benefits of cloud storage, including:

  • Cost: Instead of buying and maintaining your own physical hardware and software, you only pay for what you use in the cloud, which lowers your overall cost of ownership.
  • Scalability: Increase or decrease the amount of storage required to fit your exact needs.
  • Accessibility: Access your files and data from anywhere and on any device.
  • Functionality: The cloud offers deep functionality for storing, accessing, protecting, and analyzing data.
  • Security: Cloud providers typically provide additional levels of security to deliver extra layers of protection, including encrypted backups.
  • Agility: Start using the cloud within minutes and get more value from your data with AI and machine learning solutions. 

AWS offers a broad range of cloud storage and backup services designed to fit your needs, based on your performance, availability, and pricing requirements. Solutions include backup and restore, disaster recovery, data archiving, object storage, file storage, and block storage.

As a customer, you own your data, and you select which AWS services can process, store, and host it. AWS does not access your content for any purpose without your agreement and will not use your content or derive information from it for marketing or advertising purposes.

Securing your data is a top priority at AWS, with rigorous contractual, technical, and organizational measures provided to protect its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. AWS provides the tools and services so you can secure your data in the cloud and decrease your risk of data leaks and potential incidents.

Taking the time to identify where and how your data is currently stored gives you a head start on mapping your existing infrastructure to AWS storage options.

Consider these areas when determining your storage requirements:

  • How often you access your data
  •  Required performance and speed
  •  Criticality and sensitivity of data
  • The amount of data you have
  • Data transience
  • Your available budget
