Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) vs. Hostway (Ntirety)

While the idea is to utilize it enterprise wide; it sometimes doesn't work well in smaller applications and that causes slowdowns and impacts productivity. Also when evaluating EFS versus EBS - one needs to look at cost as EFS is a lot more expensive to implement and run so you need to weigh cost benefits of both systems and choose the best for you.

In my opinion, the entire company has room for improvement. We were locked out for more than a year and nobody took care of us and finally we had to move out.

• Cost is always a paramount issue when looking at ROI
• It is fast and if that's what you need for your implementation - you probably will not find a better solution
• Expertise in EFS is sometimes hard to come by so it's best to look at your employee's ability to grasp this technology. Otherwise, it's a pretty steep learning curve.

• provided quick and easy solutions
• Quick maintenance of our application
• Negative impact is about performance handling issues and slowness of OS
