The solution's cloud storage is very expensive, and users may not be able to afford cloud storage.

In terms of improvement, I would like to see improved storage capacity and enhanced security features for better protection. The advantage of being on the cloud allows for scalability, so increasing storage as needed would be beneficial.

Amazon S3 Glacier is a cheaper tool if you're running it on-prem, but it is expensive if deployed on the cloud.

Amazon S3 Glacier's data retrieval time is slow compared to other AWS storage services and should be improved.

They should increase the data limit for the free version or reduce the price. Some of the customers of AWS are students who are trying to learn how to use the right services. These particular improvements will be helpful for them.

There is room for improvement in handling GDPR compliance better. GDPR is about personal data protection and retention. It would be great if S3 Glacier could handle compliance items related to this, especially with upcoming legislation like the California law, which restricts data storage time and allows users to request data deletion. Currently, if you're using Azure, you have to bring data back in a tiered process, which can be slow. If S3 Glacier could handle compliance more efficiently, it would add value. Because GDPR is coming, and it will monitor data retention. In Quebec, we have Rule 25, which concerns data property and the ability to request data deletion. Handling this directly from Glacier would be a significant improvement.

Technical support needs improvement. Previously, even though we had premium and enterprise support, the response time would be quicker if we ran into issues, but now it is slowed down. The analytical dashboard feature, like the CloudOps dashboard, should be included in the next release of the Amazon S3 Glacier.

They can improve data discovery. However, I do not have specific requests for improvements because you get what you pay for. Amazon S3 Glacier is the cheapest, so I don't think I have anything to fix. If you want something better, you pay for it.

I would like to see the retrieval time reduced. You have to wait a day to get your data. You have to wait for six servers and generate your request to get your data out. If that time period could be reduced to an hour that would be an advantage. It would be helpful to have an Emulator tool to mount the storage without the need for a third party. Normally, when we mount Amazon s3 Glacier onto, an on-premises solution we need the Emulator tool. It would be great if there was direct access to mount it.

The response times could be faster. When you are with Amazon and use Glacier, you expect a response time between four to seven hours to retrieve the data. People will want to keep the content for a longer time, but they want to make shorter windows for that. It will help if they make that according to the SLA, for example, SLA level 1, SLA level 2, and SLA level 3, and make a premium SLA for Glacier and make it one hour and 15 minutes to retrieve it. All this will enhance the utilization of Glacier for our client's content. IT people will think that even archive should be faster, but archive means delivery is faster. It should guarantee content integrity at a certain time when you need the information.

I can't think of any improvements. It's a self-sustainable platform. We don't have anything which we need to add on. We are quite happy with the service. Writing and storing data is very efficient. However, when you want to retrieve the data, it is a little bit time consuming because it specifies to retrieve the data it is going to take time, so you must make sure you log store the data which you will be accessing or which you will need very frequently.

Public Cloud Storage Services
What is public cloud storage? Public cloud storage is a service that provides data storage on the public cloud. The servers and storage are owned and operated by a cloud service provider and are delivered over the internet to customers. In a public cloud, all hardware and software infrastructure is owned by the cloud provider. Cloud users or “tenants” purchase storage services from the cloud service provider. In this model, you share the infrastructure and network with other users and...
