Amazon File Cache

High-speed cache for datasets stored anywhere

Accelerate cloud bursting workloads using cache storage designed to deliver sub-millisecond latencies, up to hundreds of GB/s of throughput, and millions of IOPS.

Simplify access to multiple on-premises and in-cloud data sources with a unified view in a single namespace.

Unlock insights from data in Amazon S3 object storage using file-based applications without changing your workflow.

How it works

Amazon File Cache provides a high-speed cache on AWS that makes it easier to process file data, regardless of where it’s stored. Amazon File Cache serves as temporary, high-performance storage for data on premises or on AWS. The service allows you to make dispersed datasets available to file-based applications on AWS with a unified view and high speeds.

Use cases

Increase media workload agility


Burst visual effects (VFX) rendering and transcoding workloads to AWS to meet peak compute needs during media production.

Accelerate high performance computing

Accelerate high performance computing (HPC) cloud bursting workloads with scalable cache performance that is designed to support hundreds of thousands of compute cores.

Reduce machine learning (ML) training time

Provide instant access to your on-premises and in-cloud datasets and maximize throughput to your training instances.

Perform compute-intensive data analytics

Run advanced analytics efficiently on petabytes of on-premises data by caching only the subsets that need to be processed.
