Discovering your storage with AWS DataSync Discovery

AWS DataSync Discovery helps you accelerate your migration to AWS. With DataSync Discovery, you can do the following:

• Understand how your on-premises storage is used – DataSync Discovery provides detailed reporting about your storage system resources, including utilization, capacity, and configuration information.

• Get recommendations about migrating your data to AWS – DataSync Discovery can suggest AWS storage services (such as Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Amazon EFS, and Amazon FSx for Windows File Server) for your data. Recommendations include a cost estimate and help you understand how to configure a suggested storage service. When you're ready, you can then use DataSync to migrate your data to AWS.
