Amazon just announced a new service called AWS Snowmobile, which is a 21st century version of the classic 'sneakernet' method of data transport. Basically, Amazon is offering to tow a 45-foot-long shipping container full of hard drives to your data center, plug in to your servers via fiber, and siphon off up to 100 petabytes of data.

Amazon just announced a new version of Snowball with more storage and faster networking, but it’s still not “exabyte scale,” so the company decided to build something even bigger. With the new Snowmobile service, Amazon says you could ship one exabyte of data to AWS in about six months — a feat which would take roughly 26 years over a 10Gbps dedicated connection.
