How CloudFuze Handles Large Google Drive Migration to OneDrive

If you are exploring our cloud migration solutions and wondering how does CloudFuze handle large-scale Google Drive migration to OneDrive, you are on the right page. Here we have shared some of our advanced methodologies and processes to help businesses migrate large datasets smoothly and securely.

Key Takeaways:

  • CloudFuze handles large-scale Google Drive to OneDrive migration using a set of strategic approaches.
  • One of the first approaches is to perform the migration in dedicated instances to migrate various types of data simultaneously.
  • Another approach is to divide the total number of users into several batches and migrate them one at a time. This makes the overall migration lightweight and eliminates API throttling risks.
  • Batch-wise migration also follows batch-wise validation for both one-time and delta migration.
  • Hyperlinks migration works along with content migration to automatically preserve hyperlinks without breaking them.
  • Lastly, change management processes, such as regular communication, user training, etc., are also a big part of making large migrations non-disruptive.

Allocation of Dedicated Instances

Planning and performing a large-sized Google Drive migration to OneDrive starts with getting the fundamentals right. At CloudFuze, a big part of our success in enabling businesses to migrate terabytes and petabytes of data is allocating dedicated instances.

By running dedicated instances in parallel, we make it easy for IT teams to smoothly migrate various types of data, including:

  • Content (files and folders)
  • Emails and calendar
  • Chat messages
  • Entire tenants

Dedicated instances

Migration of Users in Batches

When planning a large Google Drive migration to OneDrive that involves transferring many users, it is best to segregate the users in batches and migrate them one at a time. If you try to migrate all users in a single go, the chances are high that you can run into issues like API throttling.

We help businesses create strategic user batches to make it effortless for them to perform the migration without risking any disruption.

Sequential Validation of Migrated Batches

We also implement a strategic approach in performing migration validation. It involves validating each user batch after its one-time as well as delta migration. This approach helps simplify the validation process and makes it accurate. Here’s an example of the validation process flow:

User Batches Migration and Validation Stages
User Batch 1 One-time migration of Batch 1
Validation of Batch 1’s one-time migration
Delta migration of Batch 1
Validation of Batch 1’s delta migration
User Batch 2 One-time migration of Batch 2
Validation of Batch 2’s one-time migration
Delta migration of Batch 2
Validation of Batch 2’s delta migration

This approach works wonders for large enterprises planning to migrate a high volume of users and data from Google Drive to OneDrive.

Hyperlinks Migration Works in Tandem

Another critical component of how we at CloudFuze handle large-scale Google Drive migration to OneDrive is our hyperlink migration process. As you would know, migrating files from Google Drive to OneDrive inevitably involves link migration, which can lead to broken links disaster if not done properly.

Our Hyperlink Fixer solution transfers all hyperlinks (links embedded in files) in tandem with files and folders migration. This way, all your files get migrated without their embedded links broken.
