The support provided to partners is very generic, and finding a Microsoft specialist can be difficult to get on calls. The solution is straightforward with simple application migration, but plug-and-play AI is not involved simultaneously. There needs to be human intervention for the migration. It can be automated from end to end for SMBs, reducing cost and time for SMBs.
The size of the solution needs to be reduced. Currently, we have 1 gigabyte of data in 23 units. However, the expected data volume is around 1075 terabytes. So the size needs to be increased accordingly. If it's not properly sized, it takes around 7 to 10 days to transfer the data. The goal is to reduce the time required. Increasing the storage capacity is necessary, and we also need to reduce the transfer time. Currently, it takes around 7 to 10 days to transfer the data, and sometimes it takes even longer depending on factors such as the data version, security processes, and other complexities. We also need to consider firewall rules and similar aspects. Time is another important aspect to focus on.

I think it's a single node solution. If it can be spread out across more of the enterprise and have more segregation in its virtual environment, that would be good.

For me it doesn't work well, so I work in Microsoft and non-Microsoft shops. If you're a Microsoft shop, I would – undoubtedly, blindfolded – say go with Microsoft Azure Data Box. But, if you are a non-Microsoft shop, to use Microsoft Azure Data Box, you would need to integrate it with your other vendors, and whether or not that will be possible will depend on the platform or platforms that host them. If a specific vendor is hosted on AWS and you are on Azure, you have to pay for the data and there is no way around that.
The Azure Data Box service lets you transfer terabytes of data into Azure in a quick, inexpensive, and reliable manner. Microsoft accelerates the secure data transfer by shipping you disks and handling the end-to-end logistics.
Transfer large amounts of data to Azure in 4 easy steps – order, receive, copy data to disks, and return disks to Azure. After the disks are received, data is ingested into Azure and disks are securely wiped.
On an enterprise level, a per-user license for more than 1,000 users is very costly.

I am not confident in this device's ability to perform a network backup in our data center.
