Cloud Cost Optimization: AWS Storage Tiering
Are your AWS storage costs high because all your data sits in expensive, over-provisioned EBS volumes? Simplyblock’s intelligent storage tiering automatically moves data in AWS between storage tiers to optimize performance and cost without compromising access speed or requiring application changes.
Automated AWS Storage Tiering That Maximizes Savings
Simplyblock’s advanced storage engine automatically moves data between four storage tiers based on sophisticated access pattern analysis:
- Ultra-Fast Local NVMe: Frequently accessed data stays in high-performance local NVMe storage for the lowest possible latency
- EBS Storage Pools: Active data that doesn’t need ultra-low latency moves to cost-effective EBS pools
- Amazon S3: Infrequently accessed data automatically transitions to S3 for significant cost savings
- Glacier Storage: Rarely accessed data can be automatically archived to Glacier for lowest storage costs
How simplyblock’s Intelligent Tiering Works
Our policy-based tiering engine continuously monitors data access patterns to ensure optimal data placement. Hot data remains in ultra-fast local NVMe storage to deliver the best possible performance for your critical workloads. As data becomes less frequently accessed, it automatically moves to more cost-effective tiers – first to EBS pools, then to S3, and finally to Glacier for archival storage. When data needs to be accessed again, simplyblock instantly promotes it back to faster tiers. Hence, simplyblock provides you with your own fully automated AWS storage tiering.
This intelligent movement happens automatically and transparently to your applications, with a close-to-zero performance impact. The system uses advanced cache eviction algorithms and throughput-optimized data placement to ensure smooth operations while maximizing cost savings.
Advanced Features for Seamless Storage Management
Simplyblock puts you in control of your AWS storage tiering strategy through customizable policy-based rules. You define how data should move between tiers based on access patterns, age, or other criteria. Our advanced algorithms handle the complex work of moving data efficiently while maintaining performance.
The system’s throughput-optimized data placement ensures data moves between tiers with minimal overhead. Advanced cache eviction algorithms keep your most important data readily accessible while automatically transitioning colder data to more cost-effective tiers. This happens with zero impact on application performance and requires no changes to your existing applications.
Enterprise-Grade Security and Performance
While optimizing costs through intelligent tiering, simplyblock maintains enterprise-grade security with full encryption across all storage tiers. Data is protected at rest and in transit as it moves between tiers. Performance remains consistently high thanks to intelligent caching and data placement algorithms that ensure frequently accessed data is always quickly available.
