The Microsoft Azure Data Box cloud solution lets you send terabytes of data into and out of Azure in a quick, inexpensive, and reliable way. The secure data transfer is accelerated by shipping you a proprietary Data Box storage device. These storage devices come in two variations having a maximum usable storage capacity of 120 TB and 525 TB respectively. These are transported to your data center through a regional carrier. These devices have a rugged casing to protect and secure data during the transit.
