A video company must move 600 TB of compressed files (thousands of files) from on-premises NAS to AWS as a one-time transfer within 3 weeks. On-premises compute is insufficient for ML, the transfer must be encrypted in transit, measured shared internet upload speed is 100 Mbps, and multiple departments share the link. Which cost-effective solution meets the requirements?

The correct solution is to use AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices. With 600 TB of data and a limited 100 Mbps internet connection, transferring the data over the network within 3 weeks is infeasible (it would take over 550 days). Snowball Edge devices are designed for large-scale data migrations where network transfer is impractical. Multiple devices can be ordered to handle the volume and meet the timeframe. Data is encrypted on the device and in transit, fulfilling the security requirement. This is also a cost-effective solution for a one-time transfer compared to long-term network infrastructure. Provisioning a 10 Gbps Direct Connect link is expensive and takes time to set up, making it unsuitable for a one-time transfer within 3 weeks. A VPN connection over the existing 100 Mbps internet link would be too slow. AWS Storage Gateway File Gateway relies on the existing internet connection, which is insufficient for this data volume and timeframe.
