Migrating data from on premise to AWS

Here are some the approximate transfer rates for Amazon Storage Gateway and Riverbed Whitewater:

• Amazon Storage Gateway 5 TB a day
• Riverbed Whitewater  3-5 TB an hour

Keep in mind that using gateways to migrate a relational database is probably not the best option as these mechanism use snapshots.
