A company needs to transfer 50 TB of data from its on-premises data center to Amazon S3. The company has a slow and unreliable internet connection, making an online transfer impractical. Which AWS service is the MOST suitable solution for this scenario?
The most suitable service for transferring a large volume of data (50 TB) with a slow and unreliable internet connection is AWS Snowball. AWS Snowball is a service that uses secure, physical appliances to transfer large amounts of data into and out of AWS, bypassing the public internet. This makes it ideal for situations with high network costs, long transfer times, or limited network connectivity. AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection but is a long-term networking solution and does not by itself accelerate a large one-time data transfer. AWS DataSync and Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration are online data transfer services that rely on a network connection, making them unsuitable for this scenario given the slow and unreliable internet.
