A company is looking to relocate a substantial amount of infrequently accessed data from their local data center to a cloud provider. The current internet connection is subpar, and secure, cost-efficient data transfer needs to be completed within a one-month period. Which migration strategy should they employ to meet these requirements?
Synchronize large datasets to a managed database service using built-in replication features.
Set up a dedicated network link directly between the local data center and the cloud environment.
Employ physical data transfer appliances to securely ship the data to the cloud storage service.
Initiate parallel data uploads using a fleet of virtual servers over the current internet link.
Using Snowball devices is the correct answer because this approach is designed for moving huge amounts of data without depending on the available bandwidth. It's particularly cost-effective for transferring data that spans terabytes to petabytes. Snowball also provides encryption, which secures the data during physical transit. This strategy is suitable for shifting infrequently accessed, large archival data when bandwidth is limited. In contrast, other options mentioned would either rely heavily on internet connectivity or are designed for more continuous data transfer needs rather than a one-off, bulk data migration.
