Amazon\u2019s popular Snowball storage container <\/a>got a major update today at the company\u2019s re:invent conference. Though largely overshadowed by the new batshit crazy AWS Snowmobile<\/a>, the aforementioned Snowball will be getting a storage increase to 100 terabytes in addition to computing functionality.<\/p>\n

Users of the new Snowball Edge <\/a>will be able to perform basic analysis on their data right from\u00a0each device. This is ideal for field work and situations where real-time insights are a requirement. As with last year\u2019s model, data can be sent straight to AWS\u00a0data centers when the device fills up.<\/p>\n

Andy Jassy, leader of all things AWS,\u00a0noted that General Electric, for example, could make use of the computational functionality at\u00a0its\u00a0wind farms. GE collects real-time data from each turbine to analyze aberrations. The compute functionality of the Snowball Edge\u00a0is ideal for just those sorts of rapid analytics. The same is true for data collected on ships and aircrafts that cannot\u00a0take full advantage of the cloud, but want a secure backup of data in addition to insights.<\/p>\n

The Snowball Edge is encrypted in three different ways to ensure data security. It also features\u00a0clustering capabilities that\u00a0allow multiple devices to be connected and accessible through a single endpoint. Support will be extended to include S3 and NFS\u00a0endpoints for storing and accessing data.\u00a0With improved\u00a0connectivity, users can complete a full 100TB transfer in about 19 hours.<\/p>\n

The Edge supports AWS Lambda functions in python for its local processing. Amazon doesn\u2019t plan to charge users to run these functions. However, the device will cost $300 for each use. This gives you 10 days to complete your transfer. After that time period, users will be charged $30 per appliance, per day.<\/p>\n
