The S3 protocol is used in a URL that specifies the location of an Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) bucket and a prefix to use for reading or writing files in the bucket. See S3 Intelligent Tiering.

Smart Data Migration to Amazon S3 with Komprise

Komprise Elastic Data Migration makes cloud data migrations simple, fast and reliable. It eliminates sunk costs with continual data visibility and optimization even after the migration. Komprise has received the AWS Migration and Modernization Competency Certification, verifying the solution’s technical strengths in file data migration.

• A “smart data migration” strategy for enterprise file data means you take an analytics-first approach to ensure you know which data can migrate, to which AWS class and tier, and which data should stay on-premises to maximize performance.
• You can create execution plans based on policy and Komprise will continually move data to the right location.
• Most importantly, Komprise tiers data to the cloud in such a way that you can use all the native AWS storage tiers and data services—without any proprietary lock-in.

The analytics-first approach helps our customers understand: “What data do I have, what data is hot, what data is cold, how is data being used, how fast is it growing?” Answers to these questions are provided by Komprise analytics across all your file storage and Network Attached Storage (NAS) environments. Knowing which data is hot and which is cold helps you understand what data requires the performance of Amazon FSx classes and what data should go to S3 or elsewhere.
