# DataSync Location for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP

DataSync Location for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is a resource that defines a connection point between AWS DataSync and an FSx for ONTAP file system. It enables secure, automated, and high-performance data transfers between ONTAP volumes and other storage systems or AWS services. This location is used as either a source or destination in DataSync tasks, helping to simplify large-scale data migrations, replication, or ongoing synchronization while maintaining ONTAP's enterprise-grade features.
