AWS announced the availability of AWS Data Transfer Terminals in six additional locations across the US, UK, France, Australia, and Japan. These secure facilities enable customers to upload vast amounts of data directly to AWS storage services such as Amazon S3 and EFS via high-throughput connections.

Designed for industries needing rapid data ingestion—like media production, automotive ADAS training, finance migration, and industrial sensor data—these terminals reduce data transfer times from weeks to minutes. The expansion complements existing sites and facilitates quicker cloud analytics and machine learning workflows after upload.
