AWS DataSync increases performance and scalability for data transfers

AWS DataSync now offers improved performance, scalability, and observability for data transfers between Amazon S3 locations. With this launch, you can now use DataSync to move datasets with virtually unlimited numbers of objects between S3 locations faster and easier than ever before. Enhanced metrics also make it easy to track and manage your data transfers.

AWS DataSync is a high-speed data transfer service that securely and reliably moves files over a network. You can now configure your DataSync tasks to run in Basic or Enhanced mode. Basic mode is subject to quotas on the number of files or objects in a dataset. It also prepares, transfers, and verifies files and objects sequentially, in stages. With Enhanced mode, you can transfer datasets with virtually unlimited numbers of objects at higher levels of performance than Basic mode. Enhanced mode optimizes and streamlines the data transfer process by preparing, transferring, and verifying data in parallel, making it faster than Basic mode for most workloads. You also get additional metrics and reporting capabilities that provide increased visibility into the end-to-end movement of your data.

Enhanced mode is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is available, except the China (Beijing) and the China (Ningxia) Regions. To get started, visit the AWS DataSync console. To learn more, view the AWS DataSync documentation.
