Why AWS for Backup and Archive?
Metered usage:
Pay as you go
No capital investment
No commitment
No risky capacity planning
Avoid opex and risks of
physical media
handling
Control your
geographic locality for
performance and
compliance

4.

Customer Stories
AWS Storage Gateway is used in a variety of ways
Jollibee (JFC) is using the AWS Storage Gateway to backup and
mirror their Oracle SQL server database from their on-premises
data center to AWS. JFC is the largest fast food chain in the
Philippines with revenues well over 2 Billion USD.. The Storage
Gateway also provides us access to the same database
snapshots for use in Amazon EC2, providing a cost-effective in-
cloud DR solution.
AWS Storage Gateway provided us the most cost
effective way to backup our SAP workloads to AWS, it is
helped us perform SAP System ‘refresh’ much faster and
in a more convenient way, backing up to S3 has also helped us
to prepare for DR & also run SAP Dev/QA restores easily on EC2
“Amazon Web Services and AWS Storage Gateway are great
assets that help us scale fast, store data in an ultra-secure
environment, spend more time on product development (rather
than disaster recovery & backup)
…By using AWS Storage Gateway, we went to just hours instead
of days to restore from backup.”
The large Japanese Retail chain uses AWS
Storage Gateway to share & store files in S3 and
drastically cut down it’s spend on premise NAS
footprint.
