Question

A company needs to transfer 600 TB of data from its on-premises network-attached storage (NAS) system to the AWS Cloud. The data transfer must be complete within 2 weeks. The data is sensitive and must be encrypted in transit. The company’s internet connection can support an upload speed of 100 Mbps. Which solution meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Use the AWS Snow Family console to order several AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices. Use the devices to transfer the data to Amazon S3. Amazon S3 provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. AWS Snowball physically ships data to AWS, ideal when bandwidth is limited or data is very large. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
