4. Snowball
● Previously AWS Import / Export Disk
● Portable Storage Devices to move large amount of Data into and out of the AWs Cloud using Amazon’s
high-speed internal network and bypassing the internet.
● Import and Export from S3
● Types:
a. Snowball: 80 TB
b. Snowball Edge: 100Tb with Compute Capabilities, Mini AWS Datacenter
c. Snowmobile: 100PB- Containers on Trucks - Exabyte scale of data
● Peta-byte scale data transport solution
● Simple, Fast, Secure and Cost efficient.
● Highly Secure.
● Trusted Platform Module and software erasure of the Snowball Appliance.
5. Benefits
● High Speed
● Extremely Scalable
● Tamper resistant and secure
● Simple and Compatible
● Low Cost
● Easy Data Retrieval
6. Use Case
● Cloud Migration - For large quantity of Snowball is often much faster and more cost-effective than
transferring that data over the Internet.
● Disaster Recovery - Quickly retrieves a large quantity of data stored in Amazon S3 during disaster
● Datacenter Decommission - There are many steps involved to decommissioning a datacenter to make
sure valuable data is not lost. Snowball can help ensure that your data is securely and cost-effectively
transferred to AWS during this process.
● Content Distribution - Use Snowball devices if you regularly receive or need to share large amounts of
data with clients, customers, or business associates. Snowball devices can be sent directly from AWS
to client or customer locations.
9. Snowball Edge
● Snowball Edge is a 100TB data transfer device with on-board storage and compute power for select
AWS capabilities.
● In addition to transferring data to AWS, Snowball Edge can undertake local processing and edge-
computing workloads.
● Features
○ S3-compatible end-point on the device
○ a file interface with NFS support
○ a cluster mode where multiple Snowball Edge devices can act as a single, scalable, storage and
compute pool with increased durability
○ the ability to run Lambda functions as data is copied to the device.
● Data migration is done within a region
12. Snowmobile
● AWS Snowmobile is the first exabyte-scale data migration service that allows you to move very large
datasets from on-premises to AWS.
● Each Snowmobile is a secured data truck with up to 100PB storage capacity that can be dispatched to
your site and connected directly to your network backbone to perform high-speed data migration.
● You can quickly migrate an exabyte of data with ten Snowmobiles in parallel from a single location or
multiple data centres.
