AWS offers secure, durable, high-performance solutions for primary storage on the cloud. Solutions leverage file, block, object, and streamed data formats as an extension to on-premises storage for applications that require durability, low latency, or high throughput. Services utilized include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for cost-effective online storage of critical business data.
AWS primary storage solutions can be utilized either as an extension to on-premises environments or on their own for organizations running production workloads on the cloud. AWS services are designed to provide scalable, and integrated solutions allowing organizations to pay for only what they need and reduce the cost and maintenance needed to manage on-premises primary storage solutions.
