Brian calls on Wayne Duso, Vice President, AWS Storage, Edge, and Data Governance, to join him in this podcast and talk about data transfer and the power of the AWS “Snow” offerings. You might be amazed at the computational power, not just data transfer capabilities, that’s available within the Snow family.

Wayne describes himself as a curious and articulate entrepreneur, investor, pioneer, builder, and leader who’s passionate about sponsoring rising-leaders, building teams, launching products, and growing businesses that deliver highly disruptive value for customers and benefit the communities I have the privilege of serving.

As a long-time Amazon employee (he’s been there almost ten years) and AWS contributor, Wayne has a deep understanding of AWS products, especially where it concerns data movement and storage.

Snowcone on the ISS

AWS and Axiom Space are collaborating on developing a more efficient way to analyze data from Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) via AWS Snowcone SSD. AWS Snowcone is a small, rugged, and secure device offering edge computing, data storage, and data transfer on the go in an austere environment with little or no connectivity. Ax-1 is the first of several private space missions to ISS planned by Axiom Space, with the ultimate goal of building the first commercial space station.

We ran an article in June that described the collaboration between Amazon and Axiom Space Remotely Operate AWS Snowcone on the International Space Station (ISS). We also have a video of the Snowcone setup on our Instagram page.

More information on AWS Snow products can be found on AWS Snow Family.
