Why each option
Migrating a very large VM from a branch office to vCloud Air requires Offline Data Transfer for bypassing WAN limitations via physical media, and vCloud Connector for the actual VM transport mechanism.
Offline Data Transfer allows administrators to copy VM data to physical storage media and ship it to a VMware data center, bypassing the need to transfer large volumes over a constrained branch office WAN connection.
vCloud Air Disaster Recovery is a protection and failover service for replicating VMs for business continuity purposes, not a general-purpose VM migration tool.
Data Center Extension stretches the Layer 2 network between on-premises infrastructure and vCloud Air to enable shared IP addressing, but it is not a mechanism for migrating VM storage or workloads.
vCloud Connector is a vSphere plug-in that enables direct migration and copying of VMs between on-premises vSphere environments and vCloud Air, providing the transport mechanism to move the VM once data is staged or when bandwidth permits.
