In its simplest form, Data Box is storage that comes to you that helps move your data from your datacentre into Azure’s. It sounds like a simple piece of advice but do an audit of what you have storage wise. If you are doing a migration, then an inventory of what you currently have is super important. However, if you are concerned about using your Internet connection to do the transfer for bandwidth reasons or timing reasons the Azure Data Box family can assist you. Moving data via an Internet upload is often the preferred method especially if you leverage something like AzCopy, Azure CLI, PowerShell or another language to script and schedule the upload to happen at “quiet” times in your network. They are unclear the way to move that data.
Often when I talk to organisations who are looking to move to the cloud the amount of data they have to move is a concern. Organisations are the same, they’ll have data stored either in Gigabytes, Terabytes, Petabytes, or maybe even Exabtyes, and much like my data at home it some of it will be duplicates, some will be super important, etc. Data is something we all have, at home I have about 2TB of data stored on various hard drives, some of it’s duplicated, some of its backups, some of its super important while the rest is just random stuff I don’t care about.
