Question

AWS Snowball data speed up

Answer 1

Yes you can d that,the data transfer can be increased in the following way:

• By performing multiple copy operations at one time i.e. if the workstation is powerful enough, you can initiate multiple cp commands each from different terminals, on the same Snowball device.
• Copying from multiple workstations to the same snowball.
• Transferring large files or by creating a batch of small file, this will reduce the encryption overhead.
• Eliminating unnecessary hops i.e. make a setup where the source machine(s) and the snowball are the only machines active on the switch being used, this can hugely improve performance.
