About this tag
AWS DataSync is a data transfer service that simplifies and accelerates moving data between on-premises storage and Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud storage. On WindowsForum.com, discussions highlight its use in enterprise migrations, such as transferring Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) user data to Amazon FSx for Windows File Server and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.
