AWS Snowmobile
The AWS Snowmobile moves up to 100PB of data (equivalent to 1,250 AWS Snowball devices) in a 45-foot long ruggedized shipping container and is ideal for multi-petabyte or Exabyte-scale digital media migrations and datacenter shutdowns. A Snowmobile arrives at the customer site and appears as a network-attached data store for more secure, high-speed data transfer. After data is transferred to Snowmobile, it is driven back to an AWS Region where the data is loaded into Amazon S3.
AWS Server Migration Service
AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) is an agentless service designed to make it easier and faster for users to migrate thousands of on-premises workloads to AWS.
