Capabilities
Starting at just $0.01/GB/month, Amazon Glacier is not only affordable, but also reduces the operational costs associated with maintaining legacy data storage infrastructure, such as tape management, security, and manual data transfer.
Amazon Glacier and S3 support secure transfer of your data over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and can automatically encrypt data at rest using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit symmetric keys. Following a shared security model, AWS’s cloud storage solutions provide data protection throughout the infrastructure, allowing you to focus on your applications.
AWS cloud storage solutions are designed to simplify the complexity around moving your data. AWS Import/Export enables data transfer from your on-premises infrastructure to Amazon Glacier in a manageable way. AWS Storage Gateway allows you to build a virtual tape library for Amazon S3 or virtual tape shelf for Amazon Glacier, providing cost savings by moving data from S3 to Glacier.
