S3 Storage Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AWS charges you for storing objects in S3 buckets. This means you owe standard storage costs for the replicated S3 objects in the destination bucket.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These storage charges vary widely depending on each bucket\u2019s region and the Amazon S3 storage class you\u2019ve chosen. For example, here\u2019s the S3 pricing for the most popular classes in the US West Region (Northern California):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>S3 Standard Storage<\/strong>, which is a general-purpose object storage solution suitable for frequently accessed data. Storing up to 50 TB of data per month in this class costs $0.026 per GB at the time of writing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>S3 Standard: Infrequent Access Storage<\/strong>, which is a great data storage solution for objects that won\u2019t be accessed frequently but have to be retrieved in milliseconds. This class costs $0.0144 per GB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>S3 One Zone:&nbsp;Infrequent Access Storage,&nbsp;<\/strong>which is similar to the previous class but more suitable for re-creatable infrequently accessed data. With this option, your data is only stored in one Availability Zone, which is why the price is lower compared to the previous one at $0.0115 per GB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>S3 Intelligent Tiering,&nbsp;<\/strong>which automatically moves your objects between different tiers based on your access patterns. With this class, you pay monitoring and automation charges ($0.0025 per 1,000 objects in US West) and different storage charges depending on the tier your S3 data is stored in. For example, if you have 100 TB in the Frequent Access Tier, you\u2019ll be charged $0.025 per GB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval,&nbsp;<\/strong>which is a low-cost storage class that provides millisecond data retrieval for objects accessed once per quarter. It costs $0.005 per GB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>S3 Glacier Deep Archive,&nbsp;<\/strong>which is a low-cost archive storage solution for objects accessed once or twice per year with retrieval in hours. It\u2019s by far the cheapest option at $0.002 per GB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval,&nbsp;<\/strong>which combines aspects of the previous two classes by being a long-term, low-cost storage option with retrieval options from minutes to hours.

Replication PUT Requests<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides storage charges, S3 also requires you to pay for requests made against your buckets and objects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to replication, you need to consider your replication&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.aws.amazon.com\/AmazonS3\/latest\/API\/API_PutObject.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PUT requests<\/a>. The costs for these requests differ depending on the region and S3 storage class. For example, 1000 PUT requests in the US East Region (Ohio) at the time of writing cost:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$0.005 for the S3 Standard and Intelligent Tiering classes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$0.01 for the S3 Standard: Infrequent Access and S3 One Zone: Infrequent Access classes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$0.02 for the S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval Class.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$0.05 for the S3 Glacier Deep Archive Class.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$0.03 for the S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval Class.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Data Transfer Charges<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When replicating data across different regions, you pay for the inter-region data transfer out from S3 to each destination region, e.g., from the US East Region to the US West Region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Note:<\/em><\/strong><em>&nbsp;Transferring data between&nbsp;<\/em><em>S3 buckets<\/em><em>&nbsp;in the same region (and out to Amazon&nbsp;<\/em><em>CloudFront<\/em><em>) is free, so you don\u2019t need to worry about this when doing&nbsp;<\/em><em>same-region replication<\/em><em>&nbsp;(SRR).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, moving data out of most US, Canada, and Europe regions into other AWS regions costs between $0.01-$0.02 per GB. However, prices are much steeper for regions in Asia and the Middle East, ranging from $0.085 to $0.010 and in some cases \u2014 even $0.014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data transfer charges are among the most complex and overlooked aspects of AWS, so we highly recommend checking out our detailed guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resilio.com\/blog\/aws-cross-region-data-transfer-cost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AWS cross-region data transfer costs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Replication Time Control and S3 Replication Metrics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>S3 Replication Time Control (S3 RTC) helps companies meet compliance requirements by ensuring low latency replication, with 99.99% of objects being replicated within 15 minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, S3 RTC includes S3 Replication Metrics, which help you monitor the replication process \u2014 the total number and size of objects awaiting replication, maximum replication times, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While useful, both S3 RTC and S3 Replication Metrics come with separate charges:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>S3 RTC incurs a&nbsp;data transfer&nbsp;fee of $0.015&nbsp;per GB.&nbsp;<\/strong>This price is the same for all AWS regions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>S3 Replication Metrics are billed at the same rate as Amazon CloudWatch Custom metrics<\/strong>.

S3 Batch Replication Charges<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using S3 Batch Replication to replicate existing objects or ones that previously failed to replicate, you\u2019ll need to pay separate fees for the Batch Replication jobs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, these charges differ depending on the region and number of objects you\u2019re replicating. For most regions, you\u2019ll have to pay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$0.25 per replication job.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$1 per million objects processed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jump\">How to Overcome S3 Replication\u2019s Central Problems with Resilio Active Everywhere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, calculating S3 replication costs can be complex due to the number of variables you need to take into account. This often results in companies getting AWS bills that far exceed their estimations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally,&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.resilio.com\/blog\/s3-replication-not-working\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S3 Replication often fails<\/a>&nbsp;(or takes too long) due to bucket versioning, permission issues, and lots of other technical misconfigurations. When that happens,&nbsp;<strong>the complexity of&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>AWS<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;makes debugging very difficult<\/strong>, which can be a big issue for companies that rely on their data always being up-to-date in locations all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.resilio.com\/active-everywhere-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Resilio Active Everywhere<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;can help you&nbsp;replicate data&nbsp;across&nbsp;AWS regions&nbsp;and services while overcoming these issues<\/strong>. Specifically, Resilio can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Minimize unnecessary data movement and egress traffic (to minimize costs).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replicate all objects reliably, preserving data integrity end-to-end.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overcome latency and packet loss across all&nbsp;<em>cloud regions<\/em>, irrespective of distance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overcome latency and packet loss between the user\u2019s remote systems located anywhere and the S3 storage instance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give you clear visibility and granular control over the replication process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure you get near-instant replication speeds every time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide you with full replication flexibility in terms of regions, services, cloud providers, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transparent Selective Sync &amp; Smart Cloud Routing: No More Unnecessary Data Movement and Egress Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we said earlier, data transfer fees are a big contributor to most S3 replication bills. The more data you move across regions, the more you have to pay, so it&#8217;s essential to limit unnecessary data movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you do that, Resilio Active Everywhere gives you&nbsp;<strong>full control over how you move data to the cloud, within the cloud \u2014 within and across cloud regions \u2014 and from the cloud to reduce egress traffic<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can use our&nbsp;Transparent Selective Sync (TSS) feature to drive&nbsp;replication&nbsp;on demand. TSS lets you easily&nbsp;<strong>initiate&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>replication<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;only of the objects you\u2019ve selected<\/strong>, which reduces the amount of data being replicated and as a result \u2014 lowers your costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Smart Routing capability also plays a big role in cost optimization. It lets you granularly rout (or pin) traffic to a given network. This means you can choose to&nbsp;<strong>keep all your traffic on the&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>AWS<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;network or replicate some objects to a remote edge network or office<\/strong>&nbsp;and keep traffic on a LAN (Local Area Network), instead of on a more expensive Wide Area Network (WAN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, thanks to Resilio\u2019s flexibility, you can&nbsp;<strong>store frequently accessed objects locally<\/strong>. These files don\u2019t have to be continuously downloaded from the&nbsp;AWS&nbsp;cloud, which further reduces your costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Central Management Console: High Visibility and Granular Replication Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While AWS offers tons of storage and replication tools, its complexity makes it difficult to replicate data in an efficient and cost-effective way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose between a bunch of replication options besides S3 Replication, like AWS DataSync and the S3 Copy Objects API. You also have to consider the factors we went over, as well as other technical minutia to ensure you\u2019re not moving more data across regions than necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, when something goes wrong, you usually have to spend hours debugging by analyzing permissions, bucket ownership, Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, Resilio Active Everywhere makes things simple by&nbsp;<strong>letting you control all&nbsp;replication&nbsp;jobs<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 regardless of the region, service, or even cloud provider \u2014<strong>&nbsp;from a single Central Management Console<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/agent-hybrid-cloud-gateway_1-1024x662.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getsynccom.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/agent-hybrid-cloud-gateway_1-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getsynccom.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/agent-hybrid-cloud-gateway_1-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getsynccom.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/agent-hybrid-cloud-gateway_1-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getsynccom.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/agent-hybrid-cloud-gateway_1-1536x993.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getsynccom.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/agent-hybrid-cloud-gateway_1-2048x1324.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the console to adjust key replication aspects, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bandwidth&nbsp;<\/strong>by setting usage limits based on the time of day or day of the week.

This is in stark contrast to the two typical topologies used by most replication solutions (including those offered by AWS):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Client-server&nbsp;replication<\/strong>, where one device acts as a hub that can receive objects from any other device. Conversely, the clients can only share data with the hub but not with each other, e.g., if Client 1 wants to replicate objects to the other servers, it must first send them to the hub that does the actual replication.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u201cFollow-the-sun\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>replication<\/strong>, where replication only occurs from one device to the next, e.g., Device 1 must first replicate objects across Device 2, which must then replicate them to Device 3, and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Both topologies create replication bottlenecks by limiting the process to only two devices at a time. They also have a single point of failure, so one device can easily slow down or stop the replication altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resilio\u2019s P2P architecture avoids that by&nbsp;<strong>allowing all devices to share objects with each other.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/p2p-vs-client-server.gif\" alt=\"P2P vs Client-Server architecture\" class=\"wp-image-10164\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Resilio Active Everywhere also uses file chunking to turn files into several chunks, which can be transferred independently from each other.

TCP\/IP treats packet loss \u2014 one of the defining characteristics of WANs \u2014 as a network congestion issue and lowers the transfer speeds as a response. However, these slowdowns are unnecessary, because packet loss isn\u2019t a network congestion problem in WAN settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result,&nbsp;<strong>companies using these tools experience big&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>replication<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;delays<\/strong>. They also don\u2019t make the most out of expensive WAN networks and struggle to synchronize their data across multiple sites and cloud providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely,&nbsp;<strong>our ZGT protocol minimizes the impact of packet loss and high latency and speeds up transfers&nbsp;<\/strong>across all networks by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Utilizing a congestion control algorithm to calculate the ideal send rate and periodically probing the RTT (Round Trip Time) to inform the algorithm and maintain an optimal sending rate.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using interval acknowledgment for a group of packets with additional information about lost packets.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sending packets periodically with a fixed packet delay to create a uniform packet distribution time.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retransmitting lost packets once per RTT to decrease unnecessary transmissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/resilio-connect-vs-competitors-1024x524.png\" alt=\"Resilio Platform vs Competitors: 10GB file to 10 endpoints over 10 Mbps link\" class=\"wp-image-10167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getsynccom.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/resilio-connect-vs-competitors-1024x524.png 1024w, https:\/\/getsynccom.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/resilio-connect-vs-competitors-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/getsynccom.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/resilio-connect-vs-competitors-768x393.png 768w, https:\/\/getsynccom.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/resilio-connect-vs-competitors-1536x786.png 1536w, https:\/\/getsynccom.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/resilio-connect-vs-competitors.png 1999w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a dedicated&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.resilio.com\/resources\/assets\/resilio-connect-wan-optimization-white-paper.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WAN optimization whitepaper<\/a>&nbsp;where you can learn more about our approach and the benefits of the ZGT protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No Single Point of Failure: Reliability and Fault Tolerance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Resilio\u2019s P2P architecture doesn\u2019t have a single point of failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If one server fails, our software\u2019s agents can always access data from other ones<\/strong>, which removes the reliability risks associated with the client-server and follow-the-sun topologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resilio Active Everywhere can also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Meet sub-five-second RPOs (Recovery Point Objectives) and RTOs (Recovery Time Objectives) within minutes of an outage by utilizing any network in your environment.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perform \u201cchecksum restarts\u201d in the event of a network failure, so failed transfers continue where they left off.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use cryptographic file validation to guarantee that replicated files remain uncorrupted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These capabilities, along with the P2P architecture, make Resilio an&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.resilio.com\/blog\/hot-site-disaster-recovery-solution\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ideal solution for disaster recovery (DR)<\/a>&nbsp;scenarios, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cold DR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hot-site DR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warm-site DR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offsite copy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/hot-dr-warm-dr-cold-dr-and-offsite-copy-699x1024.png\" alt=\"Hot\/Live DR: Multi-site Active\/Active;
