An entertainment company with a very large movie library is moving all of its production systems to an IaaS cloud. The current lease is expiring in the next month, and the company made a last- minute decision not to renew the lease. Which of the following would be the MOST effective way to move all the data to the new cloud provider?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. Perform an online storage migration. An online storage migration streams data to the destination cloud over the network while the source systems continue running, allowing production operations to continue without a hard cutover. With a one-month deadline and no lease renewal, the company cannot afford extended downtime, and online migration supports continuous delta synchronization until the final cutover.

Answer

A. Perform an offline storage migration. Offline storage migration involves exporting data to physical media and shipping it, which causes production downtime and is unsuitable when systems must remain active during the transition.

Answer

C. Perform an offline VM migration. An offline VM migration requires shutting down virtual machines before export, causing production downtime that the company cannot sustain given its tight timeline.

Answer

D. Perform an online VM migration. An online VM migration moves running virtual machines between environments but does not directly address transferring the large movie library storage data to the new provider.
