How Does CloudFuze Support Multi-Geo Cloud Migrations?

In many cloud migration use cases, businesses have the need to migrate their cloud data across two or more geographical locations. This type of multi-geo cloud migration requires a strategic approach as it varies from standard migrations.

In this detailed guide, we have covered everything you need to know about multi-geo cloud migrations.

Key Takeaways:

  • A multi-geo cloud migration is about migrating between cloud platforms across multiple geographical locations, often across borders.
  • Adhering to location-specific compliance requirements is multi-geo migration’s biggest challenge.
  • Multi-geo migration differs from single-geo migration with the multi-location factor.
  • CloudFuze Migrate supports multi-geo migrations with a wide range data center provider partners.

What is a Multi-Geo Cloud Migration and Why is it Important for Businesses?

A multi-geo cloud migration involves transferring data from one geographical location to another.

For example, if a company wants to migrate from their current cloud platform located in North America to a new cloud platform located in the UK, it falls under the category of multi-geo cloud migration.

What are the Common Challenges and Risks Associated with Multi-Geo Deployments in Cloud Migration?

There are several challenges and risks to multi-geo cloud migration deployments. They include:

  • Adhering to the geographical location-specific compliance and regulations like GDPR
  • Security threats from external sources during cross-border data transitions
  • Aligning with geographical location-specific tenant of the destination cloud

Challenges associated with standard cloud migration, such as migrating petabytes of data, hyperlinks breakage, metadata migration, etc., are also part of the overall challenges of migrating cloud data across multiple geo locations.

How do Multi-Geo Cloud Migration Strategies Differ from Single-Geo Strategies?

Multi-geo cloud migration differs from single-geo migration with the geographical location factor.

While multi-geo cloud migration involves migration between two or more cloud platforms with different geographical locations, single-geo migration is about migrating between cloud platforms within the same geographical location, often within the same country.
