Although a Storage Gateway can be a great solution for delivering data from our on-premises data center into AWS, it is still dependent on the bandwidth of the internet connection. Sometimes, the datasets can be very large and for those datasets it can take a very long time, be very expensive, and be very inefficient to transfer across the internet.
For example, let's take a look how long it takes to transfer a certain large dataset across the internet. For example, let's consider a very common dataset of 50 TB of data. If we employ a dedicated 1 Gbps connection to transfer that dataset, it will take us about 125 hours to transfer all the data across that link to the target destination. This calculation is taken in ideal conditions and 100% link utilization. So, we can easily say that on a 1 Gbps uplink, which is a common corporate internet uplink...
