Microsoft Azure Data Box Valuable Features

Sravan KumarKolloju - PeerSpot reviewer

One valuable aspect is the support we receive from Microsoft Azure vendors. We have encountered a few challenges, particularly related to security patches. Previously, we never experienced issues like those we encountered with our laptops after installing patches. It was surprising to see the servers facing similar problems. However, Microsoft's expertise and guidance have helped us overcome these challenges by following best practices.

In terms of performance, Azure is fast due to its robust framework. It efficiently handles heavy incoming traffic, demonstrating its intelligence by ensuring smooth operations without crashing the application or server. Occasionally, network balancing may cause minor disruptions, but overall, Azure performs reliably even when deployed on the cloud.

It provides secure transfer of large amounts of data. It supports data transfer of over a hundred terabits. It's convenient for me to encrypt the data and speed up the transfer process. 

With Data Box, all I need to do is push the data into the cloud or on-premises. It's cost-effective for me because it utilizes the network efficiently. Data Box provides an easy solution that is simple to set up and use. I have control over the encryption method I use and can securely push the data back.

We opted for Azure because Microsoft offers it with many legacy applications and data. They were moving to Azure because of in-house Microsoft expertise, and we specialize in Azure. It is a good fit with ease of integration there.

Microsoft tools are always better than those of other vendors. That is a fact. Microsoft Azure Data Box has much more usability than other tools like it. It is very intuitive. In AWS, everything is very techy, but they're very stable. At the end of the day, you have to pick your poison.

The most valuable feature is the ability to copy very large amounts of data and quickly have it uploaded to Azure. It is secure and there is no question about the loss of data.

It is very easy to plug in and to get the process started.
