”AWS Transfer for SFTP is helping us reduce our
operational burden, keeping S3 as our data lake, while
maintaining critical connection to our existing
authentication systems for external users – so they
don’t experience any disruption as we complete our
migration of SFTP services to AWS.”

Simple to use
“AWS Transfer for SFTP was an instant win for
Celgene…We stood up our SFTP endpoint using the
service within minutes, attached it to our bucket,
provisioned users, and were in business in under an
hour. That speed and flexibility is simply not
possible in a traditional on-prem. world.”
