Amazon Thursday announced the general availability of AWS Import/Export for S3 with a new interface for managing data transfers and migrations.

The mojo accelerates the transfer of large amounts of data in and out of the Amazon cloud using portable storage devices.

It says it's often significantly faster for large data sets than Internet transfer and more cost effective than upgrading network connectivity.

Amazon's also supporting S3 in its point-and-click Management Console now. Any S3 user can create buckets, upload objects and set access controls from a browser without writing any code.

No matter now, you've done a 180 in terms of the facts. The facts that every one who knows anything about the case, already understood. Buy the way SCO needs there consultancy money back.
