Snowball

Questions

Q: For security purposes, data transfers must be completed whithin 90 days of the snowball being prepared.

Petabyte-sale data transfer service, note we have to use multiple ones to acheive that since the only available options are 50 TB and 80 TB
Low cost 1/5th the cost of transfering 100TB over high speed internet which is suually 1000s of dollars
Speed 100TB usually takes 100 days to transfer, snowball reduce that by less than a week
E-Ink dispaly (lable for shipping information)
Tamper and weather proof
Data is encrypted end-to-end (265-bit encryption)
uses Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which is a specialized ship that stores RSA keys specific to the host system for hardware authentication
Can Import/Export from S3
it come with 50 TB (42 TB usable) and 80 TB (72 TB usable) objects
For security purposes, data transfers must be completed whithin 90 days of the snowball being prepared.

More storage an on-site compute capabilites
It has orange handles, maye that how we make visual disnction between the previous model
LCD display (shipping information and other functionality)
Can undertake local processing and edge-computing workloads
Can be clustered in groups of 5 to 10 devices
Three options for device configurations:
- Storage optimized (24 vCPUs)
- Compute optimized (54 vCPUs)
- GPU optimized (54 vCPUs)
Two options:
- 100 TB (83 TB of usable space)
- 100 TB Clustered (45 TB per node)

For exabytes-scale data
45-foot long ruggedized shipping container, pulled by a semi-trailer truck transfer up to 100PB per Snowmobile
Security: GPS, Alarm, 24/7 video surveillance, an escort security vehicle while in transit (optional)
AWS personnel wil help you with that
