SoftLayer Technologies, an on-demand data center services provider, today announced a new data transfer service that enables customers to transfer large amounts of data using USB-compatible device (such as a USB hard drive), CD, or DVD.

The company states that to utilize the new service, its customers simply fill out a request form via the company's Customer Portal and then send their USB device or optical disk to the company's data center of their choice. There the device or disk will be physically connected into a custom, dedicated media data transfer service server.

"Customers can then connect the device or disk as an iSCSI target to any server or computing instance in their network, and remotely control their own data transfer," said Brad Lewis, Hardware Solutions Manager for SoftLayer. "They can move the volume between the computing units in their environment without the downtime that would come from physically moving the device or disk from server to server."
"Customers can leverage this new service for a wide range of solutions," said Nathan Day, Chief Technology Officer for SoftLayer. "Besides providing data transfer that doesn't eat up bandwidth, it provides a great option and increased flexibility for practical applications, like disaster recovery and offsite backup."
