IceBlocks

The BWS IceBlock is the third data tier for BWS Ice devices. It comes as a very large set of external drive. It is in giant cube format, and can store between 1 and 16 exabytes of data. It is designed for big organizations and companies.

Model	Capacity	Price
BWS IceBlock I	1 Exabyte	Unknown
BWS IceBlock II	2 Exabytes	Unknown
BWS IceBlock III	4 Exabytes	Unknown
BWS IceBlock IV	5 Exabytes	Unknown
BWS IceBlock V	6 Exabytes	Unknown
BWS IceBlock VI	8 Exabytes	Unknown
BWS IceBlock VII	10 Exabytes	Unknown
BWS IceBlock VIII	12 Exabytes	Unknown
BWS IceBlock IX	16 Exabytes	Unknown

Igloo

An igloo is a local datacenter where IceCicles, IceCubes, IceBlocks, and IceBergs are stored. To prevent creating a dependency, the user has the option to go to the data center and retrieve their hardware at any time, although you can also have it shipped to you.

Zamboni

The Zamboni software client is the client for BWS Ice devices. It is written in Java, and allows the maintenance of your storage devices. Unlike Amazons SnowMobiles, the Zamboni client and other tools pre-installed on BWS Ice is purely free software, with no software limitations. You can even install other software on it instead of Zamboni if needed.
