Intro

Amazon S3 is built to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere. Like Amazon S3, Domo is built to scale with your business. Our customers collectively upload new data into their Domo environments millions of times each week. Have datasets that exceed 50 billion rows? No problem, Domo is built to handle huge amounts of data with speed. Domo’s S3 connector will allow you to leverage all of your S3 data anytime, anywhere. Domo connects directly to S3 and delivers the information you need in real-time visualizations that make analysis easier. Moreover, you can see your S3 data alongside metrics from any other system, all in a single platform, and get instant notifications when your metrics hit thresholds that you determine. You can connect to your Amazon S3 High Bandwidth account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Amazon S3 High Bandwidth connector user interface. To add DataSets, set update schedules, and edit DataSet information, see Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
