The migration to the cloud by businesses is moving full speed ahead, but transferring their data is proving a bit labor intensive at times.
This is especially the case for companies that have large amounts of information stored in their legacy systems on premises. And these days, you don’t have to be a large enterprise to have tens or even hundreds of terabytes stored on computers, servers and storage devices.
The new data transfer model introduced by Amazon, called Amazon Snowball, looks to simplify the process by transferring up to 1 petabyte per week. Just in case you are wondering, there are 1,000 terabytes or 1,000,000 gigabytes in a single petabyte.
