How to Evaluate Scalability in a Cloud Migration Platform?
Scalability is one of the most important factors to look for when exploring cloud migration platforms. It is especially important for businesses that are planning a large-scale migration involving terabytes and petabytes of data, and thousands of users.
To evaluate whether a cloud migration platform is scalable, check the parameters we have listed in this guide.
Key Takeaways:
Cloud/SaaS-based Model
One of the most important indicators of a highly scalable cloud migration platform is its cloud-based migration model. It goes without saying that cloud-based resources and infrastructure are highly scalable. Migration tools that use cloud-based instances/servers can scale to any migration size.
At CloudFuze, we provide migration solutions that are purpose-built to scale to migrations of all sizes and complexities with cloud-based infrastructure. We cater to large-sized enterprise migration projects with highly scalable cloud-based instances/servers.
CSV-based User Mapping
To seamlessly migrate cloud data, such as files, folders, chats, emails, and bulk users at a large scale, accuracy in user mapping paths is extremely important. And that’s where CSV-based mapping stands out from automatically generated mapping paths.
With the CSV mapping method, you get granular control in creating highly specific mapping path for each user. It also offers you the flexibility of customizing mapping paths which is not available in auto-mapping options.
Learn more about CSV user mapping in our user mapping white paper.
Automated Resolution of Target Cloud Restrictions
Another characteristic that makes a cloud migration platform truly scalable is its ability to automatically resolve target cloud restrictions. For example, when migrating to Microsoft 365, restrictions like unsupported special characters in file/folder names create major roadblocks.

Our cloud migration tool, CloudFuze Migrate, helps businesses overcome these types of restrictions through automated processes. For example, our tool automatically replaces special characters unsupported in Microsoft 365 with a hyphen or an underscore. This eliminates manual intervention and speeds up the migration process.
Automated Hyperlinks Migration and Correction
When migrating files at a large scale, links embedded in them break in the destination cloud. And this is one of the major problems businesses of all sizes face when transferring their cloud files. This problem occurs when the folder structure changes during migration.
Our dedicated hyperlinks migration tool, Hyperlink Fixer, solves this problem by migrating hyperlinks at scale without breaking them. As a result, businesses planning to migrate several thousands and millions of files can achieve their goals without facing the broken links problem.

Automated Preservation of Rich Metadata
Preservation of metadata at scale is also another parameter you can use to evaluate scalability in a cloud migration platform. Highly scalable cloud data migration tools like CloudFuze Migrate enables businesses to preserve all types of metadata when migrating a high volume of files and folder, including:
- Sharing permissions
- Version history
- Timestamps
- External shares
- Shared links
- In-line comments
Success with Previous Large Migration Projects
Lastly, do not forget to evaluate the success of the migration vendor with previous large-scale migration projects they have completed. Learn how their migration solutions were able to address challenges associated with large-scale migration of petabytes of data.
