Use AMS Self-Service Provisioning (SSP) mode to access AWS DataSync capabilities directly in your AMS managed account. AWS DataSync moves large amounts of data online between on-premises storage and Amazon S3, Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon Elastic File System) or Amazon FSx. Manual tasks related to data transfers can slow down migrations and burden IT operations. DataSync eliminates or automatically handles many of these tasks, including scripting copy jobs, scheduling and monitoring transfers, validating data, and optimizing network utilization. The DataSync software agent connects to your Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB) storage, so you don’t have to modify your applications. DataSync can transfer hundreds of terabytes and millions of files at speeds up to 10 times faster than open-source tools, over the internet or AWS Direct Connect links. You can use DataSync to migrate active data sets or archives to AWS, transfer data to the cloud for timely analysis and processing, or replicate data to AWS for business continuity.
