This solution will meet the requirements because Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is a fully managed service that provides highly reliable, scalable, and feature-rich file storage built on NetApp’s popular ONTAP file system.

FSx for ONTAP also eliminates data duplication and inefficient resource usage by automatically tiering infrequently accessed data to a lower-cost storage tier and providing storage efficiency features such as deduplication and compression. FSx for ONTAP also integrates with other AWS services such as Amazon S3, AWS Backup, and AWS CloudFormation. By migrating the applications to Amazon EC2 instances, the company can leverage the scalability, security, and performance of AWS compute resources.
