Why Should I Use Amazon S3 with Shareorigin?
Dealing with hardware component failures is a common occurrence in on-premises data centers. However, in cloud environments, safeguards are typically in place to mitigate such issues. For instance, Amazon EBS volumes are automatically replicated within a specific Availability Zone to shield against single-component failures, ensuring a high level of availability at 99.999%.
Before you architect any system, foundational practices that influence security should be in place.
For example:
data classification provides a way to categorize organizational data based on levels of sensitivity.
The frequency of access and sensitivity of data to be transitioned should also be considered before making lifecycle management rules.
Shareorigin is storage agnostic making it compatible with all tiers of Amazon S3 for use as your cloud server's backend storage.
Lets look at the different tiers and benefits to better match need.
You can save 68%-78% with the Archive tiers S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval or Glacier Flexible Retrieval.
The first is ideal for archive data that needs immediate access, such as medical images, news media assets, or user-generated content archives.
The second is an ideal solution for backup, disaster recovery, offsite data storage.
Glacier Deep Archive is the lowest in costs for long-term retention and digital preservation for data that may be accessed once or twice in a year.
S3 Express One Zone is the lowest latency cloud-object storage class, with data access speeds up to 10x faster and with request costs 50 percent lower than S3 Standard. Your data is redundantly stored on multiple devices within a single Availability Zone. One Zone is ideal for any application where it's important to minimize the latency.
According to the Well-Architected Framework, the start of your DR strategy is having:
According to the Well-Architected Framework, In practice, your lifecycle strategy should be based on the criticality and sensitivity of your data, and legal and organizational requirements.
You should consider factors such as data retention duration, data destruction, data access management, data transformation, and data sharing.
Encryption protects data by rendering it unintelligible to unauthorized access.
These tools and techniques are important because they support objectives such as preventing financial loss or complying with regulatory obligations.
Cross-Region replication is another feature of Amazon S3 that you can also use to back up and archive critical data.
Microsoft DFS-R (Distributed File System) is very common for file share replication. DFS-R was designed to work on local area networks with Active Directory and can be problematic when replicating over the larger wide area networks.
VPNs are generally used for replication between offices which generate even more issues. The result is a combination of issues making replication unreliable.
