Cloud Migration Hub (CMH) provides automatic and intelligent system surveys, cloud adoption planning, and migration management for you to perform migration to Alibaba Cloud.

Features

TCO Analysis for Cloud Migration

CMH provides a comprehensive evaluation of cloud migration for your enterprise regardless of whether you migrate data from third-party cloud systems or self-managed data centers to Alibaba Cloud. You can obtain the purchase list that is required to migrate data to Alibaba Cloud and the migration cost comparison. This helps you make decisions on cloud migration. Billing Analysis for Third-party Cloud Systems You can assign an account that has read-only permissions on a third-party cloud system for CMH. Then, CMH automatically performs billing analysis and mapping between the existing cloud services and the Alibaba Cloud services. This way, you can compare the costs between the existing cloud system and Alibaba Cloud. Cost Analysis for Data Migration from Data Centers CMH identifies resources in your data centers by using non-intrusive collection tools. In addition, CMH automatically generates cloud resource lists and predicts bills for the cloud migration of these resources. This way, you can compare the costs of migrating data to Alibaba Cloud with the average costs of maintaining data centers in your region.

Full-coverage System Survey

CMH offers rich capabilities for surveys on cloud migration sources, including third-party cloud systems and self-managed data centers. CMH provides application topologies to help you create subsequent migration plans. Survey on Third-party Cloud Systems You can assign an account that has read-only permissions on a third-party cloud system for CMH. Then, CMH automatically collects information on various resources that are deployed in the third-party cloud system. This paves the way for subsequent cloud migration analysis. Non-intrusive Survey on On-premises Environments CMH can connect to an on-premises server by using SSH to remotely collect information about the on-premises environment in a non-intrusive manner, including specifications, processes, and network connections.

Business Analysis and Presentation

CMH allows you to analyze and categorize business application systems in a visualized manner, and provides a one-stop dashboard to manage the progress of cloud migration. Application Topology To help you classify application clusters, CMH provides architecture diagrams to show the dependencies between components in the applications based on the analysis and identification results of surveys. This guides you to classify application clusters in a more efficient manner. Dashboard for Business Migration CMH provides a dedicated dashboard for you to view the progress of the cloud migration of your business. This allows you to monitor all migration tasks in one stop.

Migration Plan Templates

CMH provides built-in templates for migration plans based on industry best practices. You can formulate migration plans based on your actual circumstances and obtain recommended resources and migration tools. Infrastructure as Code CMH intelligently maps source instances to Alibaba Cloud service specifications based on your actual circumstances. Then, it generates executable Terraform code to help you manage different resources simultaneously, providing a user-friendly, intuitive experience. Plan and Tool Recommendation CMH provides migration tools and plans for a variety of migration scenarios. Designed with ease-of-use in mind, CMH also provides push-button batch migration based on the mappings between the source and destination.

Migration Efficiency Improvement

Designed for scenarios such as full-site data migration and batch data migration, CMH provides a series of components to help improve the system efficiency and stability during data migration to the cloud. Migration Assistant CMH provides the migration assistant feature, which lets you create multiple migration tasks simultaneously by uploading forms or performing batch input operations. This significantly reduces repetitive workloads and helps you initiate migrations tasks more quickly and flexibly. Scheduling Center CMH provides a built-in scheduling center to allow you to configure scheduling policies, such as grouping and scheduling migration tasks. Policies can be configured to respond differently to different conditions. This helps alleviate issues such as insufficient migration bandwidth and overload at the source during batch data migration.

Benefits

Adaptation to Various Sources

CMH adapts to a variety of common IT infrastructures, including general data centers and systems of mainstream cloud service providers. CMH provides collectors specifically designed for different migration environments to survey migration sources. This helps meet your requirements for subsequent analysis and planning of cloud migration.

Data Security

CMH supports offline auditing for collected data to meet your requirements for data security and auditing. By default, CMH provides full-cycle data encryption for IT resources from various sources based on the data encryption system of Alibaba Cloud. This ensures your data security.

Full Lifecycle Management

CMH provides templates for migration plans based on industry best practices. The migration plan feature provides a variety of useful features, including specification mapping, resource planning, task scheduling, and dashboards, allowing you to implement full lifecycle management for data migration to the cloud.

Quick and Convenient

CMH integrates Alibaba Cloud's cloud migration capabilities into a one-stop migration service. This not only implements centralized data management, but also speeds up migration to the cloud. CMH provides the migration assistant feature, which allows you to quickly and flexibly initiate migration tasks. A built-in lightweight scheduling center lets you schedule tasks by groups and shards.
