Optimizing Cloud Storage Costs and Performance with Data Tiering
In our role as cloud architects , we constantly have to contend with ever-increasing amounts of data while keeping infrastructure expenses in check. Applications in today's world depend on data virtually like lifeblood, and yet all data that's generated is hardly created equal. A small set of data gets read and written thousands of times a second, and other data sits idle year in and year out. Supporting all this data on high-performance, high-dollar infrastructure is inefficient and economically unsustainable. It's here that a data management approach with a clear strategy comes into play. A data tiering consists of a foundation architectural pattern that enables organisations to tier and relocate data to multiple levels of storage according to performance expectations, access frequency, and cost targets. With the successful implementation of a data tiering solution on AWS , you could lower data storage expenses considerably, enhance application performance, and achieve ...
