AWS upgrades storage for the AI era with Amazon S3 Files

• Amazon S3 Files is the “first and only cloud object store” of its kind, built for AI
• It brings low-latency access without your data ever having to leave the AWS environment
• The new storage system reduces some of the layers and complexities, making AI simpler and cheaper

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced Amazon S3 Files, which it describes as the “first and only cloud object store that provides fully-featured, high-performance file system access to your data.”

S3 Files is a new feature that turns S3 into a shared file system to eliminate the need to move or duplicate data between storage points, all in a bid to reduce some of the friction enterprises face when balancing data storage and AI workloads.
