Question: 1/50
A migration team must estimate the total time required to move 120 TB from an on-premises database to a target platform. Network bandwidth varies throughout the day, and the team has limited historical throughput data. What is the BEST first step to create a reliable migration schedule?
Run a representative pilot migration to measure end-to-end throughput and validate assumptions
Assume the maximum advertised network bandwidth and calculate the theoretical transfer time
Schedule the cutover window based only on database size and average row length
Proceed with the full migration and adjust the schedule after issues occur
