[!INCLUDE Data Box service prerequisites]
Before you begin, make sure that:
- You should have a host computer connected to the datacenter network. Data Box will copy the data from this computer. Your host computer must run a supported operating system as described in Azure Data Box system requirements.

- Your datacenter needs to have high-speed network. We strongly recommend that you have at least one 100-GbE connection. If a 100-GbE connection isn't available, you can use a 10-GbE or 1-GbE data link can be used, but copy speeds are impacted.
