Overall Satisfaction with Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
We use Amazon S3 as our off-site remote backup storage solutions for our entire storage IT infrastructure. We have our on-prem storage infrastructure being backed up hourly, weekly and monthly to S3. Amazon S3 has enabled our organization to have a disaster recovery plan at a cost-effective price without the need of maintaining an offsite storage infrastructure.
- Very simple to setup and administer.
- Can grow with your storage needs.
- Cost effective.
- Geo redundant.
- Fault tolerant and reliable.
- If not managed correct it could get expensive.
- Searching needs to be improved and is not effective.
- Better reporting would be great.
- ROI has been great for our organization since S3 enabled us to build out a remote backup solution on the cheap.
- We have been able to improve our IT infrastructure reliability and reduce down time.
We initially looked at CloudBerry but they did not integrate into our NAS hardware out of the box like Amazon S3 did.
