Question

A company is running SAP on premises and is using hard disk drive (HDD) cost-optimized storage to store SAP HANA archive files. The company directly mounts these disks as local file systems. The company also backs up the archives on a regular basis. The company needs to migrate this setup to AWS. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: Use Cold HDD (sc1) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes as the archive destination. Use Amazon S3 for backups. Use S3 Glacier for long-term retention or the archives. Amazon S3 Glacier offers low-cost archival storage for infrequently accessed data. Amazon S3 provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. Amazon EBS provides block storage attached to a single EC2 instance. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
