Amazon FSx
Amazon FSx can start, run, and expand feature-rich, high-performing file systems with a few clicks.
Amazon FSx: What is it?
Amazon FSx makes it easy and inexpensive to launch, run, and scale feature-rich, high-performance file systems in the cloud. It can manage a wide range of workloads due to its extensive range of features, scalability, security, and dependability. Amazon FSx is built on the latest AWS computing, networking, and storage technologies, providing better performance and lower TCO. You can focus more on your apps, end users, and business because it also handles hardware provisioning, patching, and backups as a fully managed service.
You can choose from four well-known file systems with Amazon FSx: NetApp ONTAP, OpenZFS, Windows File Server, and Lustre. This choice is typically based on your familiarity with a certain file system or your ability to match the feature sets, performance profiles, and data management capabilities of the file system to the requirements of your workload.
Advantages
Completely controlled and fully featured
Amazon FSx makes it easy to provide highly-performing, widely accessible file storage that supports a variety of use cases. Because Linux, Windows, and
macOS implement industry-standard protocols, users and applications can connect to file systems. Furthermore, Amazon FSx offers sub-millisecond latency and high throughput to meet the performance demands of the most demanding applications. By combining the functionality of well-known file systems with the user-friendliness of a fully managed AWS service, Amazon FSx facilitates the transfer of legacy apps and the development of rich new apps.
Extremely accessible and secure
In order to ensure high availability and durability, Amazon FSx continuously scans for hardware failures, automatically replaces infrastructure components or switches to a standby file server in the event of a failure, and replicates your data within or across AWS Availability Zones to protect it from component failure. To meet your data security requirements, Amazon lets you replicate your file systems across AWS Regions. Additionally, it integrates with AWS Backup to offer additional compliance levels and unified backup administration. Amazon FSx uses
AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to automatically encrypt your data while it is in transit and to further secure your data while it is at rest.
Economical
With
Amazon FSx, you can adjust pricing and performance to meet a variety of use cases, from small user shares to the most taxing compute-intensive applications. Amazon offers SSD or HDD storage options, so you may increase throughput speed regardless of storage size. You can choose between Single-AZ and Multi-AZ deployment options based on your high availability requirements. Amazon FSx file systems enable a variety of storage efficiency features, such as data deduplication, compression, and use quotas.
Enabled by hybrid
Using Amazon FSx to make better use of your data is easy. Data that has been transferred and synchronized from on-premises to AWS can be instantaneously accessed by a variety of connected AWS services. You can provide storage to users all around the world by storing data in the cloud with low-latency local access made possible by NetApp ONTAP's Global File Cache and Amazon FSx File Gateway.
Applications
Move your tasks to the cloud
Numerous companies depend on the file system features and administrative capabilities provided by their present on-premises storage technology. By matching features and performance, Amazon FSx makes it easy to adopt the agility and scalability of cloud storage for file sharing, database, and application workloads without altering your application code or data management practices.
Create state-of-the-art HPC, analytics, and machine learning applications
Many machine learning, analytics, and HPC applications require high-performance and scalable file storage to manage large data volumes and clusters of processing power. Depending on the file system you choose, Amazon FSx provides a range of cost-effective deployment options that can deliver millions of IOPS with sub-millisecond latency, ensuring that storage never becomes a bottleneck for these demanding applications.
Make business continuity simpler
Backup management and long-term on-site data preservation can be costly, time-consuming, and complex. You can use Amazon FSx to quickly and securely backup, archive, or copy your on-premises file storage to Amazon Web services in order to meet legal, data retention, or disaster recovery requirements.
Boost test and development agility
Rapid iteration is made possible by infrastructure-as-code, flexible compute bursting, and Amazon FSx storage, which reduce release cycles and establish development and test environments. Your configuration and resources can also be duplicated using inexpensive, zero-capacity clones, which expedites and streamlines the development and testing of new applications.
Boost workloads in media and entertainment
Media and entertainment workloads require high-performance storage that is accessible to end users who create and edit content from a variety of operating systems as well as compute-intensive rendering and transcoding processes. The flexibility to connect from Linux, Windows, and macOS computers, together with the scalability to finish your video productions on time and within your budget, are provided by Amazon FSx storage.
