MSP360 presents a new version of MSP360 Drive 1.2. This application provides you with the ability to mount Amazon S3 as a drive on your computer. And Amazon S3 is not the only cloud storage supported by MSP360 Drive, you can find a list of supported cloud storage on the MSP360 Drive product page. The new version comes with the ability to configure Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) and Server Side Encryption (SSE).
New Features of MSP360 Drive for Amazon S3
As always we are adding new features to the product to make it even more useful and efficient. In the new release we've added two new features:
- Support for Amazon S3 Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) – This storage option allows for cheaper storage in exchange for reduced reliability (99.99%). Pricing for Amazon S3 Reduced Redundancy Storage starts at only $0.0240 /GB/month and decreases as you store more data. According to Amazon if you store 10 000 objects on your Amazon S3 bucket you may expect to lose 1 object per year. For many practical purposes, this reliability level is more than sufficient.
- Support for Amazon S3 Server Side Encryption (SSE) provides you with the ability to encrypt data stored at rest in Amazon S3. With Amazon S3 SSE, you can encrypt data on upload simply by adding an additional request header when writing the object to Amazon S3. Decryption happens automatically when data is retrieved.
You can configure both options on per mapped drive basis on the Mapped Drive Options screen:
