Question
Your company has an on-premises SAP environment. Recently, the company split into two companies named Litware, Inc. and Contoso, Ltd. Litware retained the SAP environment. Litware plans to export data that is relevant only to Contoso. The export will be 1.5 TB. Contoso builds a new SAP environment on Azure. You need to recommend a solution for Litware to make the data available to Contoso in Azure. The solution must meet the following requirements:
- Minimize the impact on the network.
- Minimize the administrative effort for Litware.
What should you include in the recommendation?
Options
- AAzure Migrate
- BAzure Data box
- CAzure Site Recovery
- DAzure import/Export service

Explanation
Azure Data Box is the right choice because it's a physical appliance Microsoft ships to Litware, who loads the 1.5 TB of exported SAP data onto it and returns it - Microsoft then uploads it directly to Contoso's Azure storage. This eliminates large network transfers entirely and requires minimal effort from Litware beyond copying files to the device.
Why the others are wrong:
- A. Azure Migrate is designed for discovering and migrating entire workloads (VMs, databases) to Azure, not for exporting a specific data subset between two separate companies.
- C. Azure Site Recovery is a disaster recovery and replication service for keeping systems available during outages - it's not a data export tool.
- D. Azure Import/Export service is similar in concept but requires Litware to source their own drives, package them, and manage shipping logistics, which increases administrative burden compared to Data Box where Microsoft handles the appliance.
Memory tip: Think of Data Box = Microsoft's own shipping box. When the data is too big to move over the wire, Microsoft literally sends you a box. If you have to find your own drives and ship them yourself, that's Import/Export - more hassle, more steps.
