Amazon Snowball

Amazon Snowball is a data transfer service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) designed to help businesses move large volumes of data to the cloud efficiently. Instead of transferring data over the internet, which can be slow and costly, AWS sends a secure, portable device that businesses can load their data onto. After the data is transferred, the device is sent back to AWS, where the information is then uploaded to the cloud. This method is faster and more secure for businesses with significant data storage needs, making it easier to access and analyze their information in the cloud.
