idea Amazon S3 Bucket Data Storage for GDB Attachments in ArcGIS Enterprise Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/amazon-s3-bucket-data-storage-for-gdb-attachments/idi-p/974160 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>In a SaaS deployment of ArcGIS Server I would like to see ESRI leverage Amazon S3 as a storage platform for Geodatabase Attachments for both ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS.com so that I can easily scale while keeping costs manageable. &nbsp;Blob storage works well in a typical Enterprise environment but as more companies are moving to Public and Private Cloud deployments cheaper storage alternatives such as Amazon S3 make sense. &nbsp;Additionally this would be a great feature for Services published to ArcGIS.com which currently does not support attachment functionality. <!-- content transformation source ID: 08730000000c152 --> </BODY></HTML> Wed, 16 May 2012 15:59:06 GMT BlairDeaver 2012-05-16T15:59:06Z Amazon S3 Bucket Data Storage for GDB Attachments https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/amazon-s3-bucket-data-storage-for-gdb-attachments/idi-p/974160 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>In a SaaS deployment of ArcGIS Server I would like to see ESRI leverage Amazon S3 as a storage platform for Geodatabase Attachments for both ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS.com so that I can easily scale while keeping costs manageable. &nbsp;Blob storage works well in a typical Enterprise environment but as more companies are moving to Public and Private Cloud deployments cheaper storage alternatives such as Amazon S3 make sense. &nbsp;Additionally this would be a great feature for Services published to ArcGIS.com which currently does not support attachment functionality. <!-- content transformation source ID: 08730000000c152 --> </BODY></HTML> Wed, 16 May 2012 15:59:06 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/amazon-s3-bucket-data-storage-for-gdb-attachments/idi-p/974160 BlairDeaver 2012-05-16T15:59:06Z Re: Amazon S3 Bucket Data Storage for GDB Attachments https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/amazon-s3-bucket-data-storage-for-gdb-attachments/idc-p/1661154#M4355 <P>Unbelievable idea for two reasons: 1. this idea was posted on year 2012, when S3 was still very new to most of us 2. I'm still voting for the idea in 2025/2026.</P> Tue, 28 Oct 2025 03:12:27 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/amazon-s3-bucket-data-storage-for-gdb-attachments/idc-p/1661154#M4355 JackFanZhang 2025-10-28T03:12:27Z
