Description

The world continues to create more data than ever before with organizations expecting 30-40% data growth annually. Capturing, analyzing, and protecting this data is an exponentially increasing challenge. Organizations relying on on-premises storage often deal with issues such as inherited storage silos, tightened IT budgets, and unpredictable resource requirements. With AWS Storage services, resources are available as you need them. You reduce the time to make those resources available to your organization from weeks to minutes. You can focus on unlocking value from your data instead of spending time managing your infrastructure. Now is the time to move your storage workloads to AWS to increase agility, reduce TCO, and optimize costs for storage in the cloud.
