Shailesh Tripathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for storing details of projects and has an easy configuration
I will recommend the product to others. We are partners. Our clients moved from on-premise setup to the cloud. We suggested AWS to them. We have configured the product based on the best practices. We also monitor the solution for recommendations in the Security Hub. We try to get the data encrypted properly within our repository. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Jonatas Pereira - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for businesses to archive their information
I don't use the tool directly. Based on what my team says, from one to ten, if one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the product's initial setup phase as a nine. A technical person took care of the product's installation phase. The solution is deployed on the private and public clouds. The tool is majorly deployed on a private cloud. I use the cloud services from Microsoft Azure. The solution can be deployed in a period of two years. For deployment in the infrastructure, we had five people who are infrastructure specialists. About twenty people needed development, and the team consisted of analysts and specialists. For infrastructure, there were five people as specialists for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Though we use too much of Azure, OCI is the biggest product for our company. Azure is managed by a medium number of people. There are five people to take care of the clouds.

Overview

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provides simple, scalable file storage for use with Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS Cloud. Amazon EFS is easy to use and offers a simple interface that allows you to create and configure file systems quickly and easily. With Amazon EFS, storage capacity is elastic, growing and shrinking automatically as you add and remove files, so your applications have the storage they need, when they need it.

When mounted to Amazon EC2 instances, an Amazon EFS file system provides a standard file system interface and file system access semantics, allowing you to seamlessly integrate Amazon EFS with your existing applications and tools. Multiple Amazon EC2 instances can access an Amazon EFS file system at the same time, allowing Amazon EFS to provide a common data source for workloads and applications running on more than one Amazon EC2 instance.

It’s designed for high availability and durability, and provides performance for a broad spectrum of workloads and applications, including Big Data and analytics, media processing workflows, content management, web serving, and home directories.

Scale with no new hardware - eliminates new capital expenditures, opens up data center space and reduces power and cooling requirements.

Elastic storage - shared infrastructure allows for infinite scalability. Eliminates forecasting and long procurement cycles.

Pay as you go and subscription models - purchase capacity with no commitment or reduce costs with longer-term agreements

Simple to manage industry standard OpenStack and RESTful APIs streamline management integration, freeing resources to accelerate other cloud projects.
