Question
A company wants to extend its on-premises storage system to the AWS Cloud to provide scalable storage options for the company’s customers. The existing storage system relies on the SMB protocol. The company requires a 2 Gbps connection between the on-premises environment and AWS. The cloud-based solution must allow customers to continue to use the same storage interface but must provide expanded storage capacity and enforce storage limits based on company policies. Which solution will meet these requirements?
Options
- ADeploy an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system on AWS. Establish a 10 Gbps AWS

Explanation
Amazon S3 File Gateway provides an SMB-compatible file interface, allowing customers to continue using the same access method while extending storage transparently into AWS. The gateway stores data in Amazon S3, which offers virtually unlimited scalability and supports enforcing storage policies and limits. Using AWS Direct Connect easily meets and exceeds the 2 Gbps bandwidth requirement with predictable performance for hybrid storage access.
