Transporter is an S3 native portable storage appliance. Featuring state-of-the-art data protection, Transporter is capable of storing data created at the edge and being used to shuttle shuttling that content back to a base location. Transporter can be used either as a standalone device or with existing in-facility Perifery or Swarm clusters. Data import from Transporter to a main cluster is possible at the push of a button. Once the data transfer is completed, the system can be reset and made ready to go back out on location.
