AWS Snowball is positioned to help clients move data from on-premises environments to AWS Cloud securely. It serves as an AWS hybrid model, which clients can utilize locally at their convenient time to secure data transfer to AWS data centers or warehouses.
I've used AWS Snowball mainly for data transfer, migration, and disaster recovery. It's great for moving large amounts of data securely and efficiently.
I use AWS Snowball to help with large-scale data transfers for my clients. One of them uses FortiGuard for security purposes and backup storage. Since shipping Snowball devices to Pakistan isn't allowed, I find it handy for them to securely transfer and store massive amounts of data without relying solely on internet connections, making the process faster and more efficient.
We are trying to model the solution with some other vendors like Azure on a public cloud environment. We are creating some scale models will identify the public cloud networks over the internet. We are trying to evaluate the functionality.
Our primary use case for Snowball is ETL data extract. Transform and load. That's what we're using Snowball for at the moment. So basically adding an analytical layer on top of the current data warehouses for some of our customers.
