Azure Data Box Heavy is a hybrid solution that allows you to import your on-premises data into Azure in a quick, easy, and reliable way. You transfer your data to a Microsoft-supplied 770 TB (approximate usable capacity) storage device and then ship the device back. This data is then uploaded to Azure.

Azure Data Box moves large amounts of data to Azure by shipping you a proprietary storage device. You fill up the device with data and return it. The data from Data Box is uploaded to a default tier associated with the storage account. You can then move the data to another storage tier.

You may only tier your object storage data in Blob storage or General Purpose v2 (GPv2) accounts. General Purpose v1 (GPv1) accounts do not support tiering. To choose the correct storage tier for your data, review the considerations detailed in [Azure Blob storage: Premium, Hot, Cool, and Archive storage tiers](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-storage-tiers).

- **Azure Blob storage lifecycle management** - You can use a policy-based approach to automatically tier data or expire at the end of its lifecycle. For more information, go to [Managing the Azure Blob storage lifecycle](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-lifecycle-managment-concepts).

- **Scripting** - You could use a scripted approach via Azure PowerShell to enable blob-level tiering. You can call the `SetBlobTier` operation to set the tier on the blob.
