Customers

"Expedia Group is in the process of migrating our on-premises SMB file shares to AWS to get out of the business of managing multiple file servers across dozens of offices. The new Amazon FSx File Gateway cache will help us reduce latency for our branch offices and accelerate our migration to AWS to reduce costs and complexity."
