FSx for Windows Servers

  • Provides fully managed Microsoft Windows file servers, backed by a fully native Windows file system.

  • Supports a broad set of enterprise Windows workloads with fully managed file storage built on Microsoft Windows Server.

  • FSx works with Microsoft Active Directory (AD) to integrate with your existing Microsoft Windows environments.

    • AD is the Microsoft directory service used to store information about objects on the network and make this information easy for administrators and users to find and use.

  • Has native support for Windows file system (NTFS) features and for the industry-standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol to access file storage over a network.

  • Offers file systems with two levels of availability and durability:

    • Single-AZ file systems:

      • Ensure high availability within a single Availability Zone (AZ) by automatically detecting and addressing component failures.

    • Multi-AZ file systems:

      • Provide high availability and failover support across multiple Availability Zones by provisioning and maintaining a standby file server in a separate Availability Zone within an AWS Region.
