Description

On-premises storage can be costly and complex, with expensive hardware refresh cycles and data migrations due to system upgrades. It is also difficult to gain insights because your data is trapped in silos from multiple storage systems. With AWS Storage solutions, you can reduce the time to make those resources available to your organization from weeks to just minutes. In this virtual workshop series, you will hear from AWS experts on services and key features across the AWS Storage portfolio. In the first episodes, you will learn how to migrate the most commonly used data transfer protocols with the AWS Transfer Family and best practices on migrating to AWS hybrid cloud storage. In the episodes that follow, you will learn about block, file, and object solutions to increase agility, security, and scalability in your organization. Lastly, you will learn how to protect your data across AWS services with AWS Backup.
