Given the large volume of data (5 petabytes), traditional online transfer methods could indeed take an impractically long time, even with a high-speed internet connection. Offline transfer methods, such as shipping physical storage devices to the cloud service provider, would be a more efficient solution for migrating such a significant amount of data. This approach is often used by cloud providers through services specifically designed for large-scale data migration.
