Amazon Big Data Services powers up with two new EBS Storage Volumes

Shantha Kumari

One factor which plagues your AWS monthly bill is the amount spent on dealing with Big Data workloads. Amazon Web Services offers a solution with the launch of two new low cost volume types for its Elastic Block Store (EBS) service that are powered by traditional, spinning disk hard drives.

EBS adds Throughput Optimzed HDD & Cold HDD volume types

The new Throughput-Optimized HDD and Cold HDD EBS volume types let companies store files cheaply in a way that’s still useful for big data workloads like MapReduce and Kafka. The Throughput-Optimized service is aimed at apps that use data frequently, while the Cold HDD service is built for applications that reference items less frequently.

Sysfore has an incredible expertise in Big Data implementations. Contact our cloud experts and you’ll get the best deals for your EBS storage requirements.

Amazon’s interest in EBS began in 2008, with continued innovations which allow customers to optimize their storage performance and cost for a wide range of workloads.

In 2012, AWS began offering Amazon EBS volumes that incorporated advances in SSD technology to deliver high-performance persistent storage for latency-sensitive transactional workloads like databases that require consistently high input/output operations per second (IOPS).

Snapshot of the new storage volumes:

You can get more information from the official Amazon website about the EBS Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) and Cold HDD (sc1) volumes, visit http://aws.amazon.com/ebs.

  • Amazon Web Services offers customers predictable performance for throughput-intensive and big data workloads with large data sets, large input/output (I/O) block sizes, and sequential I/O patterns.
  • Amazon EBS customers pay only for the storage they provision, with no additional charges for throughput, and prices start at $0.025/GB month.
  • Both these EBS storage volumes deliver low cost HDD storage with the predictable high-throughput required to meet the processing needs of big data applications.
  • Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) volumes include a maximum throughput up to 500 MB per second per volume and Cold HDD (sc1) volumes have a maximum throughput of 250 MB per second per volume.
  • All EBS volume types offer durable snapshot capabilities and are designed for 99.999 percent availability.
  • Customers can now call on a new 80TB Snowball storage appliance, along with the already existing 50TB Snowball to ship their data securely from on-premises servers to Amazon’s.
  • Users who don’t have Snowball-sized amounts of data to move, can opt for the S3 Transfer Acceleration service, which is designed to get moderate amounts of data transferred quickly into the AWS Simple Storage Service (S3).
  • It uses the AWS edge network, which is also used for Amazon’s Cloudfront CDN and Route 53 DNS service, along with optimized network protocols, to let users upload files to S3 up to 550 percent faster than they’d be able to with a straightforward data transfer.

These storage service moves are going to help Amazon customers get data into the cloud faster, which is particularly important for companies undergoing cloud migrations.

Sysfore can help you implement the new Amazon EBS storage volumes for your business. You contact us at  info@sysfore.com or call us at +91-80-4110-5555 to know more.

Data Minimization in the age of Big Data!

Shantha Kumari

In the age of Big Data where every second feeds tonnes of data to the cloud, there is an information overload happening. Do you really require to collect all that data and store it in the hope that you will use it someday? This is where Data Minimization comes into the picture.

As businesses grow, so does the amount of data/information that it collects over the years. Faced with the challenges of storing and managing Big Data, many are realizing that storing everything is not only unviable, but also unnecessary.

Don’t get buried under the Big Data deluge. Get in touch with Sysfore’s cloud specialists and we’ll help manage your information storage through Data Minimization.

Businesses have invested millions of dollars into storage infrastructure so that they can capture every bit of available data. But as their datasets have grown, many have realized that they simply do not need much of the low level data created. More importantly, they have discovered that much of that data will never be used.

Whether they use in-house data centers or cloud archiving options, there is a cost associated to all of this unnecessary information that they hold.

What is Data Minimization?

Data minimization refers to the practice of limiting the collection of personal information to that which is directly relevant and necessary to accomplish a specified purpose.

Data Minimization - Minimizing Big Data

The deluge of information started as companies and organizations began to understand the power of data. As data becomes more ubiquitous and easy to collect, analysts are faced with a hurricane of potential data points. The impulse was to save all of it – indefinitely.

As the Internet of Things continues to grow, organizations are faced with more ways to collect data, including and especially private, personally identifiable data.

The focus needs to shift towards data minimization, where data is prioritized and unnecessary data is discarded. Instead of a “save everything” approach, data managers are now embracing a data minimization policy, keeping only what’s relevant and necessary. Even Walmart only relies on the previous 4 weeks of data for its day-to-day merchandising strategies.

Underlying Data Minimization benefits

One factor which is becoming increasingly popular among organizations is the cost and time factor involved in hoarding this excessive data indefinitely. All data storage costs money, and no business has an infinite budget to go on collecting and storing data indefinitely.

Another factor is the corporate computer security. Having too much data like personally identifiable data brings big risks. There is the risk of data loss and security breaches. A major leak of sensitive personal information can easily destroy a business or even lead to charges of criminal negligence.

Data Minimization mitigate both these factors significantly. It avoids multiple ways of storing data, thus reduces the cost of storing indefinite chunks of information. The value of the stored data decreases quickly and imagine the loss of a piece of information which is not even compatible now.

The idea of Data Minimization is going strong and it is only a matter of time these are included as standard procedures for mitigating risks.

Sysfore can guide you towards a Data Minimization approach for your businesses. For more information, you contact us at  info@sysfore.com or call us at +91-80-4110-5555.
