Snowball Import/Export with Zoolz

Fast-track your large-scale data migration projects with Zoolz and Amazon Snowball. Secure, efficient, and economical data transfer solutions tailored for massive data needs.

Harness the Power of Amazon Snowball

Amazon Snowball provides an efficient way to move huge amounts of data into and out of Zoolz data centers. This service is ideal for overcoming challenges like high network costs, long transfer times, and security vulnerabilities. Additionally, using Snowball can be up to 80% less expensive than transferring data via high-bandwidth internet, offering significant cost savings

Key Benefits

Extremely Scalable

A single Snowball Appliance can transport up to 80 terabytes of data and multiple appliances can be used in parallel to transfer petabytes of data into or out of our data centers.

Easy Data Retrieval

Many organizations are concerned that once they have moved all their data to the cloud that it would be both expensive and time‐consuming to retrieve data if needed. Snowball Appliance offers a fast and inexpensive way to ensure data can be transferred both into and out of our data centers.

High Speed

Even with high‐bandwidth Internet connections, it can take months to transfer large amounts of data. For example, 100 terabytes of data will take more than 100 days to transfer over a dedicated 100 Mbps connection. That same transfer can be accomplished in less than one week using two Snowball Appliances.

Tamper‐Resistant And Secure

The Snowball Appliance uses tamper‐resistant enclosures, 256‐bit encryption, and an industry‐standard Trusted Platform Module (TPM) designed to ensure both security and full chain‐of‐custody for your data. Encryption keys are managed with the Zoolz Key Management Service (KMS) and they are never sent to, or stored on, the appliance.

Simple And Compatible

Once a job is initiated, a Snowball Appliance is automatically shipped to you. Attach the appliance to your network. Run the Snowball Appliance client and select the data to be transferred. Once the appliance is ready to be returned, the E‐ink shipping label will automatically update. You can select additional data and back it up via the Internet; both data, transferred via Snowball Appliance and the internet are fully compatible.

Low Cost

It can cost thousands of dollars to transfer 80 terabytes of data using high‐bandwidth Internet. The same 80 terabytes of data can be transferred using one Snowball Appliances for a cost of $500 plus shipping; making Snowball Appliance as low as one‐time of the cost of using the Internet.
