Amazon S3
Amazon Simple Storage Service, commonly referred to as Amazon S3 aws storage, is a fully redundant storage system that can be integrated into a file storage and sharing platform such as FileCloud. The system boasts over 99.99% uptime, making it a reliable and powerful storage service. Better still, storage buckets are scalable and flexible, which means clients and organizations of all sizes can upload and download data at any point and from any location.
Renowned for performance and security features, millions of clients use Amazon S3 services around the world. Thanks to the flexible nature of the infrastructure, clients can implement S3 on premise storage buckets to meet a wide range of needs and designs, including website support, cloud-native applications, high-performance computing and data analytics, AI and Machine Learning processes, and backup and archival services.
Integrate Amazon S3 Into FileCloud
For on-premises instances of FileCloud, the integration with Amazon S3 enables users to configure “Managed Storage” through their Amazon S3 self hosted account. This storage type is referred to as “Managed Disk Storage” in support documentation and appears in admin and user panels as “My Files.” As part of the configuration process, you can establish certain credentials including:
- S3 Key (also known as Amazon Authentication Key)
- S3 Secret (Amazon secret authentication key)
- S3 Bucket name (provided by you)
- S3 Storage Folder (optional – serves as root folder)
- S3 Region (optional – if nothing is entered, US standard region will be used)
- S3 End Point URL (optional – specify your own S3 endpoint with compatible storage)
AWS Marketplace
FileCloud is listed in the AWS Marketplace. This resource publishes a list of AWS-approved third-party integrations. The marketplace can also be accessed by Amazon S3 users through their AWS S3 console and includes over 8,000 products from more than 1,600 independent vendors. The compiled list makes it easy for users to find and deploy software like FileCloud that they know will function and run on their AWS infrastructure, while exploring additional features and functionalities not incorporated in S3 storage services.
FileCloud can be integrated with your Amazon infrastructure. All storage buckets referenced by FileCloud for your “Managed Storage” can be configured in the S3 Management Console, while still applying FileCloud-level permissions, policies, encryption, and other security features to your files and folders.
