When performing disaster recovery, you recover your original systems and IT infrastructure to their original state at an alternate, available site. When you recover your servers, the recovered servers should match the original compute infrastructure to reduce the risk of underprovisioning or overprovisioning your recovery environment. This improves the likelihood that your recovery servers have […]

Organizations in regulated industries are frequently required to maintain a copy of their business-critical file data in another location to meet corporate compliance or disaster recovery (DR) mandates. Furthermore, in highly distributed environments, applications need a reliable method to move or copy their file data to a different location for low latency access or to […]

Mission critical workloads need advanced data services for data protection. Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) not only provides high-performance block-level storage volumes for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, but also offers comprehensive and consistent data protection capabilities designed to protect data on block storage. Customers have been using Amazon EBS for over a decade […]
