Hi Ari. WGBH participated in one of the DuraCloud pilots and we found that 
using the disk delivery service was — for our data and infrastructure — far 
more time consuming and frustrating than uploading over the wire. And that was 
before DuraCloud finished their sync tool.

Of course, your mileage may vary. We were working with very large files (over 
2GB) which were difficult to move around on campus and onto external disks. We 
had expected our IT department to be more upset about the outbound traffic, but 
they never noticed.

3. For ingesting large amounts of data, one can use Amazon's import/export 
service. We would send Amazon a hard disk with our data and they upload the 
data to the S3 bucket of our choice. Right. S3, again. Anyone have any 
experience with this? Duracloud folks, what are y'all doing?
