Amazon Web Services, Amazon's cloud computing business, has opened physical locations where customers can upload their data.

Port hourly charges vary according to the terminal location and the upload destination of the AWS endpoint. Data transfer from “US to US” is $300 per port, while data transfer from the US to EU is priced at $500 per port.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud computing arm of Amazon, launched its most recent and innovative file upload system at jaw-dropping speeds. The catch? One needs to "visit" the physical location of the new service.

Amazon Web Services, the omnipresent cloud platform that runs large parts of the internet, has launched a new service that may leave some onlookers scratching their heads in confusion—at least initially. The tech giant has announced the launch of physical portals where you can go to upload your data into its massive digital repository.

Uploading data to a cloud service can be time-consuming and may carry security risks. Amazon says its new data sites can fix that.
