Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 144

You need to transfer over 12 TB of data from on-premises to your cloud account. You started copying this data over the internet and noticed that it will take too long to complete.
Without increasing the costs of your subscription, what is the recommended way to send this amount of data to your cloud account?

Answer options

• A. Use Data Transfer Service to send your data.
• B. Split the data into multiple parts and use the multipart tool.
• C. Use a 10 GB FastConnect line to send the data.
• D. Send the data over a VPN IPsec tunnel.
• E. Compress the data and use the multipart tool.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using the Data Transfer Service is specifically designed for transferring large amounts of data efficiently without relying solely on internet bandwidth. The other options either do not address the issue of transferring massive data effectively (B, C, D) or may not significantly reduce transfer time (E).
