Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 778 discussion

B because too many offices that are geographically separated. "data analytics company has 80 offices that are distributed globally."

AWS Snowmobile: ideal for migrating big datasets containing 10PB or more and stored in one location. Snowmobile can help you migrate all of these large datasets at once, but the process requires a high-speed backbone with hundreds of Gb/s of spare throughput. AWS Snowball: ideal for datasets storing less than 10PB or datasets distributed across multiple locations. You can use Snowball to migrate data incrementally—this is a good alternative if you do not have enough bandwidth on the network backbone. https://bluexp.netapp.com/blog/aws-cvo-blg-aws-snowball-vs-snowmobile-data-migration-options-comparedwork backbone.

10 Snowball price (100TB x 10) still cheaper then 1 Snowmobile price ($4,100 plus additional cost for data transfer)

Why not D? Why not AWS storage gateway? With 1Gbps, they can transfer 1.25 GBPS which translates to 2.8 PB in 4 weeks. They need just 1 PB to be transferred

As of March 2024 AWS has stopped offering snowmobile as a service .So B is the right answer.Hopefully they don't ask this question :)

Too large for snowball devices.

Option C, An AWS Snowmobile has a maximum storage capacity of 100 petabytes (PB). This is equivalent to the capacity of 1,250 Snowball Edge devices

option B

Option C looks good, as option B would lead to usage of too many snowball devices.
