Internet/VPN ingest

What is Internet/VPN?

Globally available

Default method of ingesting content into Amazon S3

Simple standards-based (HTTP or HTTPS) connection

Use your existing internet connection

Available in a VPC for VPN connectivity

Acceleration through multipart upload

Data transfer into AWS is free

VPN connections using VPC virtual private gateway•$0.05 per VPN connection-hour

•$0.048 per VPN connection-hour for connections to the Tokyo region

How does Internet/VPN ingest work?

Accelerate data transfer using

multipart upload

Ingest data directly into S3 buckets

with existing internet connectivity

Optimized

throughput!

Uses AWS 55 global edge locations

AWS determines best edge location

Data transfer optimized between

edge and customer, and edge and S3

Data is not stored on the edge cache

Customers: Frame.io, Hudl, Viocorp

Problem Statement:• Needed to accelerate customer content ingest into their respective

applications running on AWS

• Existing ingest options were proprietary and too expensive

Use of AWS:• S3 and S3 transfer acceleration for massively scalable ingest

• S3 for storage, CloudFront and S3 transfer acceleration for ingest

Business Benefits: • Global highly distributed data transport available on demand

• Massive scalability and elasticity

• Lower TCO for storage and data transport infrastructure

Accelerating media content uploads to their platforms

Using the service is as easy as 1, 2, 3…

Update application to point to new S3 URL• Update “bucket.s3.amazonaws.com” to

“<bucket-name>.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com”

• Original bucket location and contents are the same, only namespace

changes

Or use permissions through API s3:PutAccelerateConfiguration

Enable the service in the AWS Management Console

AWS Direct Connect

What is AWS Direct Connect?

Dedicated, 1 or 10 GE private pipes into AWS

Create private (VPC) or public virtual interfaces to AWS

Reduced data-out rates (data-in still free)

Consistent network performance

At least 1 location to each AWS region

Option for redundant connections

Uses BGP to exchange routing information over a VLAN

Physical connection

• Cross-connect at the location

• Single-mode optical fiber

- 1000Base-LX or 10GBASE-LR

• Potential onward delivery through Direct Connect partner

• Customer router

Customer: Scripps Networks Interactive

Problem Statement:• Need storage platform to manage active archive content

• Existing content repository too large to migrate via available

network-based ingest methods

Use of AWS:• S3 and Snowball for massively scalable ingest

• S3 for storage, Glacier for content archive

• Snowball to securely transport existing media content from on-

premises storage and tape vault

Business Benefits: • Petabyte-scale data transport without increased network costs

• Massive scalability and elasticity

• Lower TCO for active archive storage

Active archive transport and archival for digital content provider

Customer: DevFactory

Problem Statement:• Acquiring new companies at a rapid pace

• Needed a faster and more cost effective data ingest process to

their platform

Use of AWS:• S3 and Snowball for massively scalable ingest

• Transferred thousands of virtual server images to EC2

• Total data migrations to date with Snowball amounting to over 1PB

of data

Business Benefits: • Can migrate new customers to the DevFactory environment up to

60 percent faster than before by using AWS Snowball

• Significant reduction in migration and ongoing operational costs

Accelerated datacenter decommissioning for software provider

How it works

How fast is Snowball?

• Less than 1 day to transfer 200TB via 3x10G connections with 3

Snowballs, less than 1 week including shipping

• Number of days to transfer 200TB via the Internet at typical utilizations

CommVault ties together on-premises and cloud-data

strategies

Commvault orchestrates the enterprise

• Back up in the cloud: Keep backups of

cloud workloads internal to the cloud

• Back up to the cloud: Allow on-premises

workloads the ability to leverage AWS

• Disaster recovery to the cloud:

Automate disaster recovery to the cloud

on a scheduled basis

• Workload portability: Rest assured that

virtual servers can be moved from on-

premises to the cloud and back, keep your

data available wherever you need it

• Archiving to the cloud: Moving legacy

data to tier 2 storage in the cloud for long

term archive

Together, AWS and Commvault minimize

networking, storage, and infrastructure costs

while providing the business a sound data

protection and disaster-recovery strategy.
