An on-premises application generates large amounts of time-sensitive data that are backed up to Amazon S3. As the application has grown, users report internet bandwidth constraints. Design a long-term solution that allows timely backups to Amazon S3 with minimal impact on internet connectivity for internal users. Which solution meets these requirements?

Establishing an AWS Direct Connect connection provides a dedicated, private network connection from your on-premises data center to AWS. This significantly increases bandwidth and reduces network costs, offering a consistent network experience that is not subject to internet congestion. Routing backup traffic through Direct Connect ensures timely data transfer to S3 without impacting your existing internet connectivity for internal users. AWS VPN connections still rely on the public internet, which would not alleviate bandwidth constraints. AWS Snowball is for large-scale data migrations, not daily, time-sensitive backups. Removing S3 service limits does not address on-premises internet bandwidth limitations.
