    Designing a Hybrid AI/ML Data Access Strategy with Amazon SageMaker

    Over time, many enterprises have built an on-premises cluster of servers, accumulating data, and then procuring more servers and storage. They often begin their ML journey by experimenting locally on their laptops. Investment in artificial intelligence (AI) is at a different stage in every business organization. Some remain completely on-premises, others are hybrid (both on-premises and cloud), and the remaining have moved completely into the cloud for their AI and machine learning (ML) workloads.

    Reduce Archive Cost with Serverless Data Archiving

    In this blog post, we present a more cost-efficient option with serverless data archiving on Amazon Web Services (AWS). In our experience, you can build your own cloud-native solution on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) at one-fifth of the price of third-party alternatives. If you are retiring legacy core business systems, consider serverless data archiving for cost-savings while keeping regulatory compliance.
