7. What are My Storage Options on AWS?
© 2016 SoftNAS, Inc. 7

8. • Block storage is an unformatted, POSIX-compliant
storage device presented to the host operating
system.
• Appropriate for use as the primary storage for file
systems, databases, or for any applications that
require fine granular updates.
• Can be aggregated into logical arrays using LVM or
the software RAID utility of your choice (mdadm in
Linux, diskpart/diskmgmt.msc inWindows)

?

9. • What’s an object, anyway?An object is essentially
any blob, or file: multimedia files, PDFs, and text
documents are good examples.
• Object or “file” level storage is generally accessible
to an application over a protocol, like CIFS, NFS, or
HTTP, rather than as a hardware device available to
the operating system.
• Useful for cold storage, log files, backup archives,
video files, and much more.

10. Variety of Storage Options
© 2016 SoftNAS, Inc. 10
Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Storage)
Amazon EC2 Local Instance Store (Ephemeral
volumes)
• Each has a unique combination of performance, durability, cost, and
interface
• Often used to form a Storage Hierarchy

11. Data Migration Strategies with AWS

12. • Migrate applications toAWS
• Build hybrid model
• Deploy disaster recovery site in an
AWS region
• Backup and archive into Amazon S3,
Glacier
• Load data into AWS analytics
services, such as EMR and Redshift.

14. 5 Migration Options

15. • Rsync
• FTP
• Jump box
• SoftNAS Replication
• AWS Snowball
What are my BYOT(Bring your own transfer) Options
© 2016 SoftNAS, Inc. 15

16. Option Pro Con
Rsync • Fast, secure and robust • Not easy to use (needs specific
setup). Can be cumbersome over
long hauls
FTP • Well known - wide spread, lots of
clients, Fat’ish
• Not secure unless using SFTP (then
speed is affected). Has a history of
being hacking target
Jump Box • Easy to configure (Windows or
Linux). Fast setup and
deployment
• Relies on file level protocols. Slow
(especially SMB)
SoftNAS Replication • Fast block based ZFS sync. Easy
to setup
• Needs SN instance on each side of
transmission with own local storage
AWS Snowball • Native Amazon tool, intended for
big data
• Hardware solution, requires
shipment of appliance. Extra added
cost
