DP-300 Certification Practice Question #95

Question

Your on-premises network contains a server that hosts a 60-TB database named DB1. The network has a 10-Mbps internet connection.

You need to migrate DB1 to Azure. The solution must minimize how long it takes to migrate the database.

What should you use?

Accepted Answer

With a 60 TB database and only a 10 Mbps internet connection, online transfer would take approximately 555 days — completely impractical. Azure Data Box ships physical storage devices with up to 80 TB usable capacity directly to Microsoft's datacenter, bypassing the slow network link entirely. All signals unanimously confirm B as the only practical solution to minimize migration time.
