Transferring large datasets with low or no network bandwidth

Sometimes, especially when migrating your workloads from on-premises environments to the cloud, you need to move large amounts of data that your systems have stored. For more advanced architectures, you may face a scenario where you have to transfer hundreds of gigabytes of data over the network. In cases when you do not have a dedicated connection between your local data center and Azure, transferring large datasets may not be efficient nor cost-effective. In this section, we will consider possible options for these scenarios and what options you have to succeed.
