QuestionQ338

Designing and planning a cloud solution architecture

You are launching a data fabric service on Google Cloud in ten weeks and must move 2 petabytes of historical data from your on-premises data center to Google Cloud. You want to transfer the data securely with low latency. What should you do?

  • A Create a 1 Gbps VPN connection between your data center and Google Cloud. Use Storage Transfer Service to transfer the data.
  • B Request Transfer Appliances from Google Cloud. Transfer the data using the appliances.
  • C Create a 1 Gbps connection using direct interconnect. Use the Storage Transfer Service for on-premises data to transfer the data.
  • D Export the data to portable disks and send the disks to Google Cloud for data import.
Explanation

A Transfer Appliance is a high-capacity Google-managed storage device for securely transferring large data volumes to Cloud Storage. It is intended for petabyte-scale migrations and avoids the time constraint imposed by a 1 Gbps network link; even with continuous ideal throughput, 1 Gbps cannot carry 2 PB in ten weeks.
