Ground Station data loss.

10/09/2023

Amazon FSx for Ground Station provides a fully managed service that allows users to control satellite communications and store data on AWS with high security and reliability. However, like any complex system, FSx for Ground Station is not immune to challenges. One of the most critical issues users may face is data loss, which can occur for a variety of reasons.

Informatix Systems specializes in diagnosing and resolving FSx for Ground Station data loss issues. We are dedicated to helping you maintain the integrity and availability of your satellite data, ensuring that you can always retrieve what you need when you need it.

Common Causes of FSx for Ground Station Data Loss

Network or Connectivity Issues

Data loss in FSx for Ground Station can occur due to network issues that cause communication disruptions between the Ground Station and AWS. Issues like packet loss, latency, or bandwidth constraints can lead to incomplete data transfers, resulting in data loss.

Configuration Errors

Misconfigured storage or file system settings in FSx for Ground Station can contribute to data loss. This could include incorrect backup settings, improper file retention policies, or mismanagement of data storage volumes that prevent the system from saving or recovering data properly.

Human Error

Data loss can sometimes occur due to inadvertent actions such as accidental file deletions or incorrect system configurations performed by users or administrators. It is crucial to have safeguards in place to minimize human error and data mishandling.

Storage Hardware Failures

Though AWS manages the infrastructure, storage hardware failures can still affect data retrieval or corruption. Failures in the underlying physical storage devices, even in cloud environments, could lead to lost or inaccessible data.

Snapshot Corruption or Mismanagement

FSx for Ground Station uses snapshots for backup and data recovery. If snapshots are corrupted, mismanaged, or not created properly, data recovery becomes difficult, and you may experience data loss.

Data Corruption During Transfer

Data corruption can happen during transfer from the Ground Station to AWS due to issues such as network failures, software bugs, or communication interruptions. This can result in partial or corrupted data being uploaded, leading to the loss of valuable information.
