With AWS, you can choose the right storage service for the right use case. Given the myriad of choices, from object storage to block storage, this session will profile details and examples of some of the choices available to you, with details on real world deployments from customers who are using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), Amazon Glacier, and AWS Storage Gateway.
2. Agenda
• Common Data Storage Terms
• Introduction to AWS Storage Platforms
• Use Cases Drive Platform Selection
• TCO
• What to do next
3. Goals for this session
• 101 Level Introduction to AWS Data Storage
– Survey of AWS Data Storage Platforms
– Learn how AWS Cloud Storage compares to classic models
– Cloud Storage Use Cases
– How to get started
9. Storage Basics - Block vs. File vs. Object
• Block Storage : SAN : EBS
– Data organized as an array of unrelated blocks
– Host File System places data on disk: Microsoft NTFS or Unix ZFS
– Structured data is predicted to grow at 34% CAGR until 2018
• File Storage : NAS :EBS
– Unrelated data blocks managed by a file (serving) system
– Native file system places data on disk: EXT or Filers
– Unstructured data is predicted to grow at 45.6% CAGR until 2018
• Object Storage :S3:RRS:Glacier
– A new data access, data storage, and data management model
• API access to data vs. traditional block or file system access
• Metadata Driven, Policy-based, Self Managing storage
• No host overhead for storage functions
– A system that stores virtual containers that encapsulate the data, data
attributes, metadata, and Object IDs

44. Use Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier When You Need
• Backup and Archive in the cloud
• Archive data from Amazon S3/RRS to Amazon Glacier
by policy
• Delete data from Amazon Glacier by policy
• Tiering Strategy to support Information Lifecycle
Management
49. What is AWS Storage Gateway?
• Integrates on-prem IT environments with Cloud
storage for departmental and remote office backup
and DR
• Utilizes a virtual appliance that sits in your
datacenter
• Exposes storage and backup interface on front end
• Stores primary data on-AWS in Amazon S3 or on-
premise with data backed-up to Amazon S3 as
Amazon EBS snapshots or Glacier
54. TCO
• AWS Storage Platforms Provide Lowest TCO by
13-44% as compared to classic deployments.
We take cost out for customers in every
engagement.
• When is your next capacity upgrade or refresh?
