Q275. A university research laboratory needs to migrate 30 TB of data from an on-premises Windows file server to Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. The laboratory has a 1 Gbps network link that many other departments in the university share.The laboratory wants to implement a data migration service that will maximize the performance of the data transfer. However, the laboratory needs to be able to control the amount of bandwidth that the service uses to minimize the impact on other departments. The data migration must take place within the next 5 days.Which AWS solution will meet these requirements?

Correct Answer: C. AWS DataSync

Explanation

DataSync can be used to migrate data between on-premises Windows file servers and Amazon FSx for Windows File Server with its compatibility for Windows file systems. The laboratory needs to migrate a large amount of data (30 TB) within a relatively short timeframe (5 days) and limit the impact on other departments' network traffic. Therefore, AWS DataSync can meet these requirements by providing fast and efficient data transfer with network throttling capability to control bandwidth usage.
