Meet AWS Snowmobile<\/a>, a tractor-trailer\u00a0for when your big data is just too damn big. The truck houses a container that can store up to 100 petabytes of data.\u00a0Real-life data hoarders can contract Amazon to move exabytes of data to the cloud using the new tricked-out trucks.<\/p>\n

Snowmobile attaches directly to your data center with power and\u00a0network fibre to\u00a0move critical information\u00a0to AWS, even when its size is\u00a0insurmountable for mere mortals.<\/p>\n

Designed to address data challenges for companies dealing with large film vaults and troves of satellite imagery, the truck consumes a whopping 350 KW of AC power.\u00a0All this power fuels one\u00a0terabyte\u00a0per-second of data transfer speeds across a 40 gigabyte per-second connection.<\/p>\n

This means a Snowmobile can be filled to the brim in roughly 10 days. After all is said and done, the truck is taken back to AWS where its contents are put in the cloud. DigitalGlobe is already contracting out trucks to move\u00a0100 petabytes\u00a0of satellite imagery to AWS.<\/p>\n

    Of course a job this big comes with its own unique challenges. That much data in one place presents a real world security risk \u2014 ol\u2019 bank robber style. Amazon is gracious enough to offer dedicated security guards and a vehicle escort.<\/p>\n

    Containers also feature GPS tacking and video surveillance in addition to cellular and satellite connectivity back to AWS HQ.\u00a0All data is encrypted with AWS Key Management Service keys before it is transferred. Bonus points to the first person to film\u00a0a remake of The Town\u00a0<\/a>with Jesse Eisenberg riding shotgun in a Snowmobile.<\/p>\n

    While the shipping container design is humorous to look at, the rugged apparatus has natural functionality.\u00a0Amazon outfitted its trucks to be both climate-controlled and water-proof.<\/p>\n
