Your company is building a new architecture to support its data-centric business focus.
You are responsible for setting up the network.
Your company's mobile and web-facing applications will be deployed on-premises, and all data analysis will be conducted in GCP.
The plan is to process and load 7 years of archived .csv files totaling 900 TB of data and then continue loading 10 TB of data daily.
You currently have an existing 100-MB internet connection.

To meet the company's needs of processing and loading 7 years of archived .csv files totaling 900 TB of data and then continuing to load 10 TB of data daily, while the mobile and web-facing applications are deployed on-premises and all data analysis is conducted in GCP, we need to consider a few factors to determine the best approach for transferring data to GCP.
The existing 100-MB internet connection is not sufficient to transfer such a large amount of data, so we need to find an alternative method for transferring the data. The options are:
A. Compress and upload both archived files and files uploaded daily using the gsutil "m option. B. Lease a Transfer Appliance, upload archived files to it, and send it to Google to transfer archived data to Cloud Storage. Establish a connection with Google using a Dedicated Interconnect or Direct Peering connection and use it to upload files daily. C. Lease a Transfer Appliance, upload archived files to it, and send it to Google to transfer archived data to Cloud Storage. Establish one Cloud VPN Tunnel to VPC networks over the public internet, and compress and upload files daily using the gsutil "m option. D. Lease a Transfer Appliance, upload archived files to it, and send it to Google to transfer archived data to Cloud Storage. Establish a Cloud VPN Tunnel to VPC networks over the public internet, and compress and upload files daily.
Option A is not a feasible approach since it would take a very long time to upload such a large amount of data over a 100-MB internet connection, even if the files were compressed.
Option B, leasing a Transfer Appliance, is a good approach for transferring the archived data since it can handle large data sets and transfer them securely to GCP. The Transfer Appliance is a physical device that can be shipped to the company's location and used to transfer data to GCP. The archived data can be uploaded to the Transfer Appliance and then shipped to Google to transfer the data to Cloud Storage. This method can save time and provide a secure transfer of data. However, this approach does not address the daily upload of data.
Option C and D both include leasing a Transfer Appliance to upload archived data to it and then sending it to Google to transfer data to Cloud Storage. The main difference between the two options is the connection established between the company and GCP. In option C, a Cloud VPN Tunnel is established to VPC networks over the public internet, while in option D, a dedicated Cloud VPN Tunnel is established to VPC networks over the public internet.
Option C can be a feasible approach if the daily upload of data is not time-sensitive and if there is not a high volume of data being transferred. This approach relies on a Cloud VPN Tunnel over the public internet, which is not as secure as a Dedicated Interconnect or Direct Peering connection. Therefore, it is not suitable for applications that require high security.
Option D is the recommended approach since it includes the same benefits as option B with the addition of a secure Cloud VPN Tunnel over the public internet. This approach provides a secure and efficient transfer of data, making it the best approach for the company's needs.
In summary, the best approach for the company's needs is to lease a Transfer Appliance, upload archived files to it, and send it to Google to transfer archived data to Cloud Storage. Establish a dedicated Cloud VPN Tunnel to VPC networks over the public internet and compress and upload files daily using the gsutil "m option."
