We are pleased to announce the launch of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) support for the AWS Import/Export Snowball client. The new HDFS support accelerates the movement of big data workloads.

Big data workloads may now skip intermediary staging and go straight from HDFS to Snowball.

This feature is available to all Snowball customers today. To get started, visit:
