Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for routing data by transferring a physical storage device for at least part of a route between source and destination locations. In one example, a computing resource service provider, may receive a request to transfer data from a customer center to a data center. The service provider may determine a route, which includes one or more of a physical path or a network path, for the data loaded onto a physical storage device to reach the data center from the customer center. Determining the route may include associating respective cost values to individual physical and network paths between physical stations between the customer and end data centers, and selecting one or more of the paths to reduce a total cost of the route. Route information may then be associated with the physical storage device based on the route.
