Amazon DataSync increases scalability and performance for on-premises file transfers
Amazon DataSync Enhanced mode now supports data transfers between on-premises file servers and Amazon S3, enabling customers to transfer datasets that scale to virtually unlimited numbers of files at higher levels of performance than DataSync Basic mode.
Amazon DataSync is a secure, high-speed file transfer service that optimizes data movement over a network. This launch extends the capabilities of DataSync Enhanced mode to support transfers between on-premises NFS or SMB file servers, and Amazon S3. Enhanced mode uses parallel processing to deliver higher performance and scalability for datasets of any size, while removing file count limitations and providing detailed transfer metrics for better monitoring and management. Using Enhanced mode, customers can accelerate generative AI workloads by rapidly moving training datasets to Amazon Web Services, power data lake analytics by synchronizing on-premises data with cloud-based pipelines, and drive large-scale migrations for archival and cloud modernization.
