In this session, we explore features and functions of AWS Storage Services. We give context on the portfolio, cover the most common use cases for AWS offerings for object, file, block and migration technologies, including thepartner ecosystem, and then go into each service with customer case studiy examples. Leave this session with an understanding of how to select storage and start moving workloads or building new ones.

17. Canada’s largest biotech firm
Data sovereignty required local hot files
and tape archives in each of 10 global offices
• AWS Volume Gateway eliminated 50-hour
backup windows and tape archive systems
• Cut on-premises storage CAPEX 40%; dropped
RTO from 48 hours to 10 minutes
• Meets cloud strategy while retaining local
ownership and data sovereignty
• Enabled data center exit in next 12 months
“It made no sense to keep buying
big disk siloes, especially as we opened up
new global offices, and now we can
recover in the cloud from a snapshot if we
ever had to.”
- Adam Leggett

18. On-premises infrastructure took weeks to produce
customer content
Needed performant, secure,
economical media distribution solution
• Workflow pipelines are now highly parallel and
elastic
• New one-hour content delivery SLA
• Fully migrating away from on-premises
infrastructure economics
Active Archive
“We have 20 petabytes of content on AWS, the
equivalent of more than 800,000 hours of video,
available on our platform. We can only move all
that content around the world with the
scalability we’re getting on the AWS Cloud. “
- Andy Shenkler
Chief Solutions and Technology Officer
19. Threat analysis company ingesting
and analyzing 50 TB daily
Right-sizing clusters cost weeks and lost data
• Saved 95% through re-architecting to a “hot” index
on Amazon EBS with an analytics data lake on
Amazon S3
• Amazon EBS shortened indexing times from weeks
to hours while cutting OPEX
• Now getting consistent 1–3 sec. search response
times across 5 PB of growing data in Amazon S3
• Managing 1 billion Amazon S3 objects and 2,500
instances with just six engineers
“AWS storage completely changed our business
operations, time to market and manpower. EBS
volumes cut our cluster indexing times from weeks to
hours. Moving data into Amazon S3 saved us 95% and
our data lake now outperforms our clusters—the
harder we push it the faster it gets for extremely large
datasets. We simply could not do this anywhere else.”

20. Security-as-a-Service for 4000 customers
using 25 PB and growing 110% per year
Colocation not agile enough or cost effective
• Built an Amazon S3 data lake and avoided $1.6M
CAPEX - in the first year alone
• Stress-tested 100x larger load with zero CAPEX
• 4x better “I/O per $” ratio
• Gained new insights into their customers through
Amazon S3 data management capabilities
• No 40-Gbps network infrastructure worries
“AWS storage is
Fully redundant, multi-region,
more secure, and faster
at less than half the cost.”

21. ProofPoint controls and enforces over 1M daily
social media posts for corporate customers
Needed to integrate this social media content
into their regulated email archive solution
• Built fully compliant archive/purge workflows
using Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier
• Created a compliant two-step legal hold with
vault-level tags and Glacier Vault Lock
“What would it have cost us to build
a WORM data store,
get it certified for SEC Rule 17(a)-4(f)
and CFTC Rule 1.31 (b)-(c),
and then scale it?”

22. Amazon EBS
Performant
Persistent
Reliable
• Dedicated, detachable volumes for EC2 instances
• Helps customers manage compute and storage separately
• Highly secure Multi-AZ design
• Built-in backup options
• Performance options to fit most workloads
• Optimized for latency, throughput, or cost
• Elastic volumes expand capacity on the fly
Built for
Hadoop/Amazon EMR,
relational and NoSQL databases,
log processing, and data warehousing
23. Databases and analytics
Global broadband service operator processing 17 TB
of daily device data streams at 200 MB/s
Modifying Kafka clusters required an
8 hours resync every time
• Moved from instance stores to EBS volumes
• Cut storage costs by 25%
• Cut production cluster node count by 33%
• Dropped resync times to 20 minutes
“Our AWS service use is about making the
necessary easy. Storage should be as boring
as possible—it should just work. Amazon
EBS makes it trivial to do things that were
impractical before, driving experimentation,
creativity, and faster delivery.”
- Daniel Woodlins
Software Engineer
24. Amazon EFS
Scalable
Simple
Elastic
Web serving, content management, media and
entertainment workflows, home directories, container
storage, big data, and analytics
• Share files between EC2 instances in minutes
• True file system interface with file system semantics
• Fully managed – no capacity planning surprises
• Pay-as-you-go consumption and pricing
• Automatically grows and shrinks
• Much lower TCO than DIY or third-party workarounds
• Consistent performance even as data grows
Built for
25. Newly acquired streaming media product depended
on a local file server
Had to launch at global scale in 90 days – with
minimal changes
• DIY was too complex and took too long
• Lift-and-shift to Amazon EFS took 2 hours
• EFS with EC2 autoscaling met global scale agility
needs
• Seamless integration between partner
application and existing AWS systems
• Post-mortem TCO analysis showed that EFS was
still the best choice
Enterprise applications
“Good, fast, and cheap. We picked two and got
all three with Amazon EFS. It gave us the agility
to deliver a new product on schedule, eliminated
scale and performance concerns, and operates
below our
OPEX expectations.”
- Chris DeAcosta
Sr. Director Software Engineering
26. Prior to Amazon EFS, we experienced timeouts for
up to 10% of uploads over 100 MB. Now, all of the
JFrog build artifacts (from infrastructure-as-code
components to Docker images) are in one place,
and we’ve increased large file transfer speeds by
38%.”

28. “The AWS solution with Storage Gateway helps us
reduce backend service costs; our estimated costs for
this new hybrid cloud service are one tenth of the
prior on-premises infrastructure costs. As we pass
those savings on to our customers, we become
significantly more competitive in the energy-
exploration and production market.”
