Connect to your storage, connect to our storage, and start copying
Getting started with DataSync is easy: Deploy the DataSync agent on premises, connect it to a file system or storage array using NFS, select Amazon EFS or S3 as your AWS storage, and start moving data. You'll pay only for the data you copy.
Simple steps to get going
Sign up for a free AWS account
If you don't have an AWS account, set one up for free.
Learn about DataSync
You can dig into the FAQs for key facts, and dive deeper in the docs. Also, stay tuned for more recorded sessions, blogs and demos.
Go to the Console
The DataSync console is where you start, configure and manage the DataSync services operations.
Deploy the DataSync Agent
Download and deploy the agent to an on-premises VMware ESXi hypervisor. Associate it to your AWS account via the Console or API. The agent will access your local NFS storage to read data from it or write to it.
Create a data transfer task
Create a task by specifying the location of your data source and destination, and any options you want to use to configure the transfer, such as copying file metadata.
Start the transfer
Start the task and monitor data movement in the console or with Amazon CloudWatch. Then, use the data however you want in AWS.
