Explanation

Microsoft Azure Data Box is a hardware appliance designed to allow customers to import or export large amounts of data - more than 40TB - into and out of Azure offline. It is especially helpful when there is zero or limited network connectivity. Microsoft ships customers a proprietary Data Box storage device with a rugged casing to protect and secure data during the transit. A customer may choose Data Box for a one-time or the occasional cloud migration or an initial bulk data transfer followed by periodic transfers.
