A data warehouse is the analytical backbone of a modern enterprise, consolidating data from disparate sources into a single, authoritative view that enables complex queries, trend analysis, and confident decision-making. In financial services, this means sharper regulatory reporting, faster fraud detection, and deeper customer understanding. The operational reality is demanding. Enterprises juggle multiple source databases […]

AWS Backup for Amazon S3 now lets you access your backup data through Amazon S3 Access Points. You create an access point for a recovery point, and AWS Backup provisions an S3 endpoint with an alias that works anywhere you would use a bucket name. You can then read backup data using standard S3 APIs, […]

Organizations that store sensitive data need to answer a simple question: where did this data come from, and what happened to it? In healthcare, this isn’t optional. Regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, and SOX require organizations to produce this information on demand. When an auditor asks, for example, “Show me every transformation that touched patient record […]

Customers managing large volumes of objects in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) often need to attach rich business context like compliance classifications, processing lineage, AI-generated labels, and more. Until now, this context lived in external databases or sidecar files that were stored as separate objects, which created complexity to manage and keep it up […]

As data volumes grow, organizations must move large datasets between storage locations to meet compliance requirements, optimize performance, and help meet data sovereignty requirements. However, migrating petabytes of data presents significant challenges: lengthy transfer times, complex coordination of parallel operations, data integrity verification, and substantial engineering overhead. Automation reduces resource consumption and operational complexity during […]

Organizations routinely need to move a subset of their stored data from one location to another, such as a compliance audit that requires all PDFs from a specific quarter, a company reorganization that splits one tenant’s records into an isolated bucket, or a regulatory mandate that demands financial documents older than 7 years be archived […]

Turso is a transactional, cloud database platform built on SQLite, serving developers and enterprises that need lightweight, high-density databases at the edge and in the cloud. Because each database is just a file, a single Turso compute node can host millions of them with no cold start. Turso delivers these databases in a Bring Your […]

Organizations running workloads in metros and geographies far from major cloud infrastructure need scalable, fully managed object storage, but regulations or business requirements mandate that data stays within specific national or metropolitan boundaries. This is particularly true for financial services, healthcare, and public sector, where compliance frameworks not only dictate where primary data resides but […]

Business-critical applications depend on reliable storage performance. However, workloads aren’t static and can vary by time of day, day of week, or business cycle. Matching storage performance to these shifting demands is essential for maintaining application reliability without overspending. Under-provisioning can affect your applications when demand peaks, while provisioning too much for too long means […]

Learn how to configure ONTAP tree quotas on Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP to enforce per-workload capacity boundaries within a shared volume. This post walks through creating qtrees, defining quota policy rules with hard limits, soft limits, and thresholds, activating enforcement, and monitoring consumption using native quota reports and EMS events.
