AWS announces new AWS Data Transfer Terminal location in Munich

Today, AWS announces the opening of a new AWS Data Transfer Terminal location within Equinix MU1 in Munich, Germany. This marks AWS's first Data Transfer Terminal outside the United States and its debut in Europe. Data Transfer Terminal is a secure, physical location where you can bring your storage devices and upload data to AWS including Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), and others using a high throughput network connection.

Data Transfer Terminals are ideal for customers who need to transfer large amounts of data to the AWS quickly and securely. Common use cases span various industries and applications, including training data for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the automotive industry, video production data for processing in the media and entertainment industry, migrating legacy data in the financial services industry, and uploading equipment sensor data in the industrial and agricultural sectors. Once uploaded, you can immediately leverage AWS services like Amazon Athena for analysis, Amazon SageMaker for machine learning, or Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) for application development – reducing data processing time from weeks to minutes.
