Internet/VPN ingest

What is Internet/VPN?

Globally available

Default method of ingesting content into Amazon S3

Simple standards-based (HTTP) 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

Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration

What is Transfer Acceleration?

Network- and protocol-based data transfer service

Acceleration of data ingress/egress with S3 buckets

Typically 50% to 300% faster

Feature of S3 enabled at the bucket level

Available in all S3 regions worldwide

No client/server software required

No code changes to your application

No firewall exceptions

Simple pricing model

throughput!

Uses AWS 59 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

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
