• Ensures only approved files move into the DAM
• Supports large batch transfers for campaign launches and seasonal refreshes

2. Archive and long-term storage of retired assets from Adobe Experience Manager Assets to Amazon S3

• Provides consistent, approved renditions to downstream systems
• Improves performance for applications that read directly from Amazon S3

5. Disaster recovery and backup synchronization for critical digital assets
