AWS DataSync currently supports three AWS Cloud storage services: Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, and Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. One of the first things you want to consider is where to put your archive data in the cloud. The fully managed AWS DataSync service is optimized for working with AWS storage services and scales to meet the performance needs of your task. You then execute the task to securely transfer your files. You define a task to copy data from your source file system on-premises to the destination storage in AWS. How AWS DataSync worksĪ DataSync agent is deployed as a virtual machine (VM) in your on-premises VMware environment. Finally, I discuss how to configure DataSync for your data protection workloads while also monitoring your ongoing transfer tasks. I also review how to choose AWS Cloud storage services for storing your data, and why Amazon S3 is the ideal service for protecting your on-premises file and backup archives. In this post, I discuss how to use DataSync to copy your on-premises archive data to your selected AWS Cloud storage service. DataSync also has built-in verification of data both in flight and at rest, so you can be confident that your data was transferred successfully.
DataSync uses a purpose-built, parallel transfer protocol for speeds up to 10x faster than open source tools.
Using DataSync, you can copy data from your on-premises NFS or SMB shares directly to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), or Amazon FSx for Windows File Server.
With AWS Cloud storage, you get all the advantages of cloud scalability and durability, while paying only for what you use.ĪWS DataSync is an online data transfer service that is designed to help customers get their data to and from AWS quickly, easily, and securely. There’s no storage hardware to manage, no tapes to send offsite, and no sticker shock with hardware refresh cycles. For example, Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive provides 11 9’s (99.999999999%) of durability at a price point of about $1 per TB/month. Keeping track of multiple on-premises copies of data can be a challenge and often leads to significant costs, both in time and money.ĪWS Cloud storage provides a compelling alternative to on-premises backup storage or physical tape archives. If you follow common backup methodologies and have multiple backups in different locations, then you likely have a lot of cold data sitting on-premises in disk storage or in physical tape archives. As the amount of data being generated on-premises continues to grow, so does the demand for more storage to house file and backup archives.
