With S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, we are able to lower
storage costs for imaging workloads that require data to
be immediately accessible when requested, such as when
a radiologist needs to review a patient’s prior history or
a collection of archived images needs to be analyzed.

Since the launch of S3 Intelligent-Tiering in 2018,
we’ve automatically saved ~30% per month on our
storage costs without any impact on performance
or need to analyze our data. With the new Archive
Instant Access tier, we anticipate automatically
realizing the benefit of archive storage pricing,
while retaining the ability to access our data
instantly when needed.

Using S3 Intelligent-Tiering, we can implement storage changes
without interruptions to service and activity. Our data is automatically
moved to lower-cost tiers based on data access, saving us a lot of
development time in addition to reducing costs. With that time, my
team can focus on identifying other opportunities to reduce
infrastructure costs in support of our organizational goals. The new
access tier in S3 Intelligent-Tiering will help us save even more on
storage costs.
Joshua Bergen
Cost Management Lead @ Epic Games
© 2021, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
We wanted to find a way to quickly optimize storage costs across the
largest and fastest growing buckets across the enterprise. Because the
storage usage patterns vary widely across our top buckets, there was
no clear-cut rule we could safely apply without taking on some
operational overhead. The S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class
delivered automatic storage savings based on the changing access
patterns of our data without impact on performance. We look forward
to S3 Intelligent-Tiering’s new access tier which will allow us to realize
even greater savings without additional effort.
