In this session, we explore the features and functions of AWS storage services. We provide context on the AWS storage portfolio, and we cover the most common use cases for AWS offerings for object, file, block, and migration technologies, including the AWS Partner Network (APN) ecosystem. Then we examine each service, using customer case studies as examples. You gain an understanding of how to select storage and start moving workloads or building new ones.

Why AWS Storage?

7. - Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Storage Services, Worldwide
Raj Bala, Julia Palmer, July 31, 2018
“AWS is one of the few capable providers that can
provide end-to-end solutions from edge and on-
premises enterprise data centers to public cloud
storage services without making security trade-offs.
AWS can can deliver such solutions in an integrated
experience with an overlay consisting of robust
security and performance features.”

18. Canada’s largest biotech firm
Data sovereignty required local hot files
and tape archives in each of 10 global offices
• AWS Volume Gateway eliminated 50-hour
backup windows and tape archive systems
• Cut on-premises storage CAPEX 40%; dropped
RTO from 48 hours to 10 minutes
• Meets cloud strategy while retaining local
ownership and data sovereignty

big disk siloes, especially as we opened up
new global offices, and now we can
recover in the cloud from a snapshot if we
ever had to.”

IT Manager
Hybrid Cloud Storage & Restore

19. “The AWS solution with Storage Gateway helps us
reduce backend service costs; our estimated costs for
this new hybrid cloud service are one tenth of the
prior on-premises infrastructure costs. As we pass
those savings on to our customers, we become
significantly more competitive in the energy-
exploration and production market.”
