• Higher costs for disaster recovery

sites or data centers

• Costs for storage, backup, archival

and retrieval tools, and processes

• Capacity planning, procuring, and

deploying can be challenging

• Very low total cost of ownership

• Scalable storage services and

consistent tools and processes

across various AWS regions and

Availability Zones.
