With the introduction of AWS European Sovereign Cloud, organizations across Europe are adopting this dedicated partition to meet stringent data sovereignty requirements. However, organizations face significant operational challenges because they must maintain their existing AWS commercial partition deployments for global customers while simultaneously establishing AWS European Sovereign Cloud infrastructure. This dual-partition reality can cause data […]

​​​​Organizations are moving beyond single-model AI toward multi-agent architectures. In these systems, agents offload intermediate results to files rather than carrying everything in the prompt, because a large prompt inflates cost and degrades quality. A model’s context window is finite, so files become working memory that persists after a session ends. In multi-agent systems, a […]

WeatherBug is the third largest weather intelligence company in the US, delivering real-time forecasts, radar, lightning alerts, and interactive maps to over 10 million users. As their data footprint has grown across hundreds of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets in a multi-account AWS environment, their storage costs rose steadily with no clear visibility […]

A data warehouse is the analytical backbone of a modern enterprise, consolidating data from disparate sources into a single, authoritative view that enables complex queries, trend analysis, and confident decision-making. In financial services, this means sharper regulatory reporting, faster fraud detection, and deeper customer understanding. The operational reality is demanding. Enterprises juggle multiple source databases […]

AWS Backup for Amazon S3 now lets you access your backup data through Amazon S3 Access Points. You create an access point for a recovery point, and AWS Backup provisions an S3 endpoint with an alias that works anywhere you would use a bucket name. You can then read backup data using standard S3 APIs, […]

Organizations that store sensitive data need to answer a simple question: where did this data come from, and what happened to it? In healthcare, this isn’t optional. Regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, and SOX require organizations to produce this information on demand. When an auditor asks, for example, “Show me every transformation that touched patient record […]

Business-critical applications depend on reliable storage performance. However, workloads aren’t static and can vary by time of day, day of week, or business cycle. Matching storage performance to these shifting demands is essential for maintaining application reliability without overspending. Under-provisioning can affect your applications when demand peaks, while provisioning too much for too long means […]

Learn how to configure ONTAP tree quotas on Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP to enforce per-workload capacity boundaries within a shared volume. This post walks through creating qtrees, defining quota policy rules with hard limits, soft limits, and thresholds, activating enforcement, and monitoring consumption using native quota reports and EMS events.

Organizations delivering content on a global scale rely on distributed edge networks to cache and serve billions of requests daily. These architectures depend on highly aggressive Time-To-Live (TTL) configurations to maximize performance and minimize origin load. On a cache miss, the network falls through to the origin to retrieve the requested content. At this scale, […]

Organizations are increasingly adopting cloud-based identity solutions to reduce infrastructure overhead and improve their security posture. For customers running file workloads on AWS, both Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Amazon FSx for Windows File Server require joining a Microsoft Active Directory domain to serve SMB file shares and support Windows-based authentication. When customers have […]
