Got Files? Deploy Your File Workloads Quickly &
Easily with AWS

34. © 2019, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Considerations when moving file data
1. Why are you moving data storage to AWS?
2. What is the data you’re moving?
3. Where is the data going – to which service/for what application & use
case?
4. When do you need the data off your array/out of the DC/in AWS?
5. How much data? How much usable network capacity?

35. © 2019, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Time Cost Complexity
Why move? The pain of managing on-premises
storage

36. © 2019, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Time
• Long 3-6-month acquisition
• 30-90 day implementation
Why move? The pain of managing on-premises storage

37. © 2019, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Cost – hidden expenses
• Capex – high up-front capital investment
• Guesswork on how much storage you will need
• Guesswork on types of drives, mix of SSD/HDD
• Expensive add-on software for tiering, snapshotting, HA, DR
• Warranty renewals, EOL, migrations
Why move? The pain of managing on-premises storage

38. © 2019, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Complexity
• Specialized expertise
• Availability – need a second array and datacenter for HA
• Backup – dedicated backup arrays plus offsite copy
• Scalability – difficult to scale: time/cost to order more
drives, upgrade controllers, EOL of array – all additional
hidden costs
Why move? The pain of managing on-premises storage

Summary
• On-premises storage continues to grow
• AWS storage portfolio is growing
• The customer may think of storage as
• DAS, NAS, SAN
• Backup/DR, Home directories, Enterprise Apps
• Application-specific data
• There are many enterprise file-based workloads that can be migrated today
• For Linux-based applications, use EFS
• For Windows-based business applications, use FSx for Windows File Server
• To store data in S3 and access via standard file protocols, use File Gateway
