Wazee Digital Staff To Co-Present At AWS re:Invent 2017

Brian Noecker, VP of Information Systems and Services, and Greg Loose, Chief Technology Officer, at Wazee Digital are to present at AWS re:Invent 2017 in Las Vegas later this month, it has been announced. The one-hour session – Migrating Millions of Video Content Files to the Cloud Using AWS Snowball – will commence at 5.30pm on Wednesday 29 November at the Venetian, Level 4, Delfino 4005.

The presentation will provide an overview of how Wazee Digital is using AWS Snowball to migrate millions of files and over four petabytes of video and still images from a private data centre into Amazon Web Services (AWS). The session will also address key considerations, design, and approach; lessons learned throughout the process; and why Wazee Digital made the decision to go "all in" on AWS.

AWS Snowball is an 80-terabyte data transport solution that accelerates moving terabytes to petabytes of data onto AWS. Wazee Digital is leveraging the AWS Snowball to transfer large amounts of data onto Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

Greg Loose commented: "Our use of AWS Snowball was predicated on moving very large video files in the most elegant and rapid way with security at top of mind. Further, the use of AWS Snowball gives our company confidence that the data we are migrating will make it safely and securely to its destination. It's a massive decision to make – how you will transfer data – and once again, we're trusting AWS to help facilitate the process and ensure a successful migration. This project is a case study on how to migrate large data sets to a public cloud environment in the most efficient and repeatable way possible. We are looking forward to sharing our story at AWS re:Invent 2017."
