With the use of Azure Data Box, you can easily send terabytes of data in and out of the Azure environment. It allows you to do the activity in the simplest way possible, and that too, in the most inexpensive manner. It further allows you to perform edge computing so that you can transfer large volumes of data to Azure securely without any intervention. The Azure Box is basically an offline data transfer device which allows you to ship data between your data center and the Azure. It makes data transmission process simpler than it ever was! If you are dealing with huge chunks of data, you might be aware about the fact that it is really painful and challenging to deal with such big data files. Now, with the advent of Azure Data box, you can easily migrate your on-premises workloads to that of the cloud. Further, it takes care of the optimization of your resources, while offering a centralized security and governance mechanism to your data.
There are a lot of applications that you might get readily available from the Microsoft when it comes to shifting your data from the on-premise location to that of the cloud environment. Migrating your apps to the Azure cloud computing service seamlessly is really critical, and it allows you to migrate physical and virtual machines at ease without any trouble. As a result, no matter which size your enterprise currently is, you may choose to shift your data from multiple sources to a single destination, all organized at the same place on the cloud environment. These migrations are often preformed over a single connection of network, be it on the internet or on the ExpressRoute. However, the moment you have huge data piles to transfer, it can become really difficult for you to get this job done and that’s when you need to have an access to the Azure Data Box to settle this work within a stipulated time frame.

What is so special about Azure Data Box?
Azure Data box involves using a physical device to your data center so that you can actually use it to copy your data on the same. It is then shifted back to the data center of Microsoft and thus, are further imported to their defined storage locations. You can thus, securely transfer Azure Storage Account containers at a quicker pace than that of transferring them on the network links. Prior to actually using this platform, you need to define the storage locations alongside the managed disks, and then, you might have various security options available for you.
Advantages of Azure Data Box
Once you have the Azure data box, you can easily start with the procedure of copying the data on the physical VM that’s connected to the server, and then ensure that it the shipping information is collected and verified by the shipping company, which is further delivered to Microsoft. Accordingly, the data transfer occurs to the correct storage locations. Here are a few benefits of the tool listed below:
- Move large volumes of data within a limited time frame
- Better network availability
- AES encrypted data for a safer transit in case you are doing data migration
- 8 TB SSD with a SATA/USB interface
- Customization options available for a better and secured backup of your data
- Use of virtual appliance for safe data transmission process
Bottom line:
Now that companies are moving towards digitalization, Azure Data box is an innovative solution that is meant to make things easier than ever!
