In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, Security Operations Center (SOC) teams face significant challenges in efficiently analyzing audit logs to identify potential security breaches in cloud file systems. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server generates comprehensive audit logs capturing detailed user activities, but traditional manual analysis of these logs is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and often ineffective […]

When storing data, choosing the storage class that is best suited for your particular needs allows you to optimize your storage costs, performance, and object availability. However, over time, the access patterns for your objects can change, which means you may need to migrate your objects to a different storage class to continue optimize for […]

In today’s data-driven world, the ability to interact with your data through natural language is becoming increasingly valuable. By combining the power of conversational AI with Amazon S3 Tables, organizations can democratize data access and enable individuals across technical skill levels to query, analyze, and gain insights from their data using simple conversations. Model Context […]

If you work with data storage and data protection, then you’re aware of the “3-2-1 rule.” System administrators consider the 3-2-1 rule a best practice for backup and disaster recovery (DR), and it is recommended by US-CERT. The 3-2-1 rule states that you should have three copies of your data (your production data and two […]

Organizations must safeguard their backup infrastructure against evolving cyber threats. A comprehensive backup and recovery strategy needs three fundamental pillars: immutability with isolation to prevent tampering and ensure separation, integrity validation to ensure backup reliability, and predictable availability when needed. These pillars form the foundation of effective data protection. Immutability with isolation ensures that backups […]

Your VMware workloads contain critical data that drives business decisions and powers your operations. Maintaining the availability and resilience of your data is a top priority where potential disasters such as ransomware threats, catastrophic hardware failures, and natural calamities, can lead to costly downtime and data loss. To address these challenges, all businesses require strategic […]

Organizations managing data lakes often require additional infrastructure to support concurrent writes from multiple applications. Traditional approaches require external systems for coordination, adding infrastructure overhead, costs, and potential performance bottlenecks. Developers typically implement client-side locking mechanisms using databases or dedicated lock services, resulting in complex multi-step workflows. Amazon S3 offers capabilities to address these concurrent […]

The exponential growth in size and complexity of foundation models (FMs) has created unprecedented infrastructure demands across compute, networking, and storage resources. Storage systems, in particular, face intense requirements for throughput, latency, and capacity. In machine learning (ML) model training, these storage demands are particularly evident in checkpointing—a critical reliability mechanism that periodically saves and […]

Organizations are increasingly focused on addressing the growing challenge of managing and analyzing vast data volumes, while making sure that their data teams have timely access to this data to enable rapid insights and decision-making. Data analysts and scientists need self-service analytics capabilities to build and maintain data products, often involving complex transformations and frequent […]

Traditionally, many enterprises and organizations with on-premises infrastructure have used boot-from-SAN (Storage Area Network) rather than using locally attached storage. Booting from SAN offers centralized management and backup of boot volumes, supports high availability through multipathing, and enables greater flexibility by allowing systems to boot from pre-configured OS images hosted on a shared storage array […]
