In this blog, I walk through creating a highly available, fully managed file share accessible from personal devices using a virtual private network (VPN). It allows for Microsoft Active Directory integration, data deduplication, and fully managed backups, among other critical enterprise features. Common use cases include home directories, user and departmental shares, and even media workloads where high throughput and low latency is a requirement.Īmazon FSx for Windows File Server (Amazon FSx) is a fully managed, highly available, and scalable file storage solution built on Windows Server that uses the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. They also want a repository that is searchable and follows a standard file system architecture. For ease of use and increased productivity, customers are looking for shared file access that can be mounted as a network drive using built-in Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS tools.
With remote work becoming the norm, customers often need a central repository for files that can be accessed from anywhere to enable collaboration and provide highly durable storage.
