Snowball

Snowball is a petabyte-scale data transport solution that uses secure appliances to transfer large amounts of data into and out of AWS.

Storage gateway

File Gateway For flat files, stored directly on S
Volume Gateway
- Stored Volumes - Entire Dataset is stored on site and is asynchronously backed up to S3
- Cached Volumes - Entire Dataset is stored on S3 and the most frequently accessed data is cached on site
Gateway Virtual Tape Library

Tips:

low-latency service of the majority (entire dataset) of files is required ⇒ gateway stored + file gateways
low-latency service of the last few days of files is required ⇒ gateway-cached + file gateways
cost-effectively and durably archive backup data in GLACIER or DEEP_ARCHIVE ⇒ VTL
