Zero Disruption Large-Scale Cloud Migrations for 10,000+ Users

When it comes to performing a cloud migration involving 10,000+ users without disruption, having a proper migration plan and proven strategy is key. It goes without saying that migrating 10,000+ users come with various challenges, the biggest challenge being serious downtime and disruption risks.

In this guide, we have shared some of the proven strategies and methodologies that you can use to migrate more than 10,000 users and equally high volumes of data without facing disruption risks.

Migrate 10,000+ Users in Strategic Batches

The best and most proven way to migrate more than 10,000 users from one cloud platform to another is to segregate them into equal batches and transfer them. For example, you can divide 10,000 users into 20 batches with each batch containing 500 users.

We use this batching approach for all our customers to help them keep the migration process lightweight. This approach also helps eliminate API throttling-related downtime risks, which, otherwise, can create disruption and impact users.

Use Enterprise-Grade Migration Infrastructure

The key to ensuring zero disruption when migrating 10,000+ users is to use high-performance migration infrastructure that does not cause any downtime. Cloud-based migration tools depend heavily on the migration infrastructure for seamless user, data, and metadata migration performance.

At CloudFuze, we use dedicated enterprise-grade instances that eliminate downtime risks, making our SaaS cloud migration model one of the best and most reliable in the industry.

Ensure Ample API Calls Are Available

One of the most important approaches in avoiding disruption when migrating 10,000+ users is ensuring ample API calls are available in both the source and destination cloud. Before starting the migration, check the type of licenses your company has for both the source and destination cloud and have clarity about the number of API calls available.

It is equally important to coordinate with the migration vendor to understand the estimation of API calls required for migrating 10,000+ users. With this approach, you can ensure proper preparedness for the migration and avoid API throttling risks.

Have Automation in Place

Another proven way to avoid disruption when migrating more than 10,000 users is to have certain migration automation functionalities in place. For example, processes such as replacing unsupported special characters with supported ones and retrying files and folders that have gone into conflict can raise migration disruption risks.

By automating these processes, your IT team can save a lot of time and avoid the risk of human errors, which, otherwise, can create significant migration disruption. Our cloud migration tool, CloudFuze Migrate, automatically replaces unsupported characters and retries files and folders that have gone into conflict.
