AWS re:Invent 2016: NEW LAUNCH! Introducing AWS Snowball Edge and AWS Snowmobile (STG214)

At re:Invent 2016 AWS announced several revolutionary ways to move data into and out of the AWS Cloud in large batches, so you can retire servers, racks, and data centers and embark on new projects faster. Two of these new services are AWS Snowmobile and AWS Snowball Edge. Snowmobile cuts cloud data migration projects from years to weeks in time with a 45 foot truck with 100PB of capacity.

AWS Snowball Edge is a petabyte-scale data transfer service with portable storage and compute capabilities. It transports up to 100TB of data in a ruggedized, weather resistant, rack mountable, shippable device with the same embedded cryptography and security as the original Snowball. Learn more about each of these services and hear from two customers on the impact these services have made on their data center operations.
