How CloudFuze Orchestrates Multi-Workload Cloud Migrations?

Performing a multi-workload migration is a completely different game from regular cloud data migration. And it demands a strategic approach that addresses all the moving parts while ensuring optimal data security.

In this guide, we have explained how CloudFuze orchestrates multi-workload cloud migration for businesses that want to migrate various types of workloads like files and folders, chat messages, emails, and calendar.

Key Takeaways:
✔ A multi-workload migration requires a strategic approach for complete success.
✔ Running the migration parallelly is the core of CloudFuze for addressing multi-workload migration needs.
✔ Planning and structuring the migration in phases is also one of the best practices to follow.

Preparing A Consolidated Scope of Work

At CloudFuze, orchestrating a large-scale multi-workload migration starts with preparing a consolidated scope of work. We include all the workloads to be migrated in a single project agreement, including:

  • Content: files, folders, permissions, file versions, file hyperlinks, shared links, external shares, and in-line comments.
  • Chat messages: channels, direct messages, chat threads, reactions, replies, pinned messages, user mentions, and attachments.
  • Emails: mailboxes, attachments, sent items, inbox, draft, junk.
  • Calendar: events, event timestamps, and event attachments.

    • Running Migrations in Parallel

    The core strategy of performing multi-workload migration at CloudFuze is using multiple dedicated instances and running multiple migration jobs in parallel. With dedicated instances for each type of workload, the migration becomes fast without any risk of downtime.
    Before deploying the instances, we perform their sanity testing extensively to ensure every migration is done on a clean slate. Our enterprise-grade instances with high-performance configurations deliver the best migration throughput.

    Migrating With a Phased Approach

    Another piece of the puzzle in how CloudFuze orchestrates multi-workload migration is implementing the phased migration approach. It involves segregating the total number of users to migrate into several batches and migrating them one at a time. Phased migration is also about structuring the migration in key phases, such as:

  • Pre-migration phase
  • Planning phase
  • Execution phase
  • Monitoring phase
  • Validation phase
  • Cutover and post-migration phase

    • Regular Reporting for Progress Tracking and Validation

    Lastly, regular reporting is part and parcel of multi-workload cloud migration at CloudFuze. Migration reports are generated regularly through which you can streamline cloud migration monitoring.
    Our tool’s migration reports include all the details that help you validate the migration of each user batch. These parameters include:

  • The total number of users migrated
  • The total number of files and folders migrated
  • The types of metadata, properties, and context preserved
  • The time taken for the migration
  • Status of any file or folder gone into conflict

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What is a multi-workload cloud migration and what does it involve?

    A multi-workload cloud migration involves migrating various types of workloads, such as files and folders, emails, chat messages, and more. It is best to use a single all-in-one migration tool to perform this type of migration.

    2. What are the different types of workloads that can be migrated?

    Chat messages, files, folders, emails, calendars, attachments are some of the different types of workloads that can be migrated. You can use a one-stop cloud migration solution like CloudFuze Migrate to migrate various types of workloads.

    3. How does multi-workload cloud migration differ from single workload migration strategies?

    Multi-workload migration involves migrating various types of items like emails, files and folders, chats, etc. On the other hand, single workload migration is about migrating a specific type of data between cloud platforms.

    4. What are the best platforms for multi-workload migration in cloud environments?

    CloudFuze Migrate is one of the best platforms for multi-workload migration as it supports migration of files, folders, emails, calendar, chat messages, and entire cloud tenant data. The tool helps you streamline all stages of the multi-workload migration journey.

    5. How to plan a multi-workload migration to cloud services efficiently?

    The best way to plan is to perform the migration of all workloads in parallel instances. This way, you don’t have to migrate the workloads one at a time. Performing parallel migration also helps you complete the migration project on time.
