Our expertise allows you to choose the best migration approach depending on your individual requirements and technical features of the project. This way, you will get a better platform for IT-infrastructure development and scaling. We will build a technological cloud to solve tasks of any complexity.

How it works

The GigaCloud experts have a vast experience of over 2,000 successful migrations and more than 15 Petabytes of data transferred to the cloud.

We delve deep into the project:

 

  • conduct a free audit
  • help to form requirements and specifications for cloud infrastructure
  • draw up a plan, do an ‘invisible’ and free migration 
  • provide a free trial
  • optimize infrastructure in accordance with the test results
  • provide its best performance, maintenance, exploitation, and resource modernization. 

 

Ways of migration depending on the task

  • We use Cloud Availability Director as a tool for this. It allows migrating virtual machines between infrastructures, for instance between a client and a GigaCloud cloud, or between different vDC located on various sites in the GigaCloud cloud. A virtual machine replica is created without workflow interruption or services degradation, and, when ready, it is switched between the platforms.

    In specific or critical downtime cases, other VMware software products such as SRM or HCX may be used for migration.

  • This option is especially suitable for customers using VMware virtualization. For it, we use the OVF Tool, which supports standard export of virtual machines in the required format.

  • We perform VM migration using the vCenter Converter or Qemu-img tool, which convert virtual machines from one format into another. Suitable for both Windows and Linux operating systems.

    • With the Veeam Agent tool. We install the Veeam Agent, a reserve copy utility, on the guest OS, connect it to the Veeam Cloud Repository storage, create the necessary backup task. In the cloud, we create a new VM with an empty disk and restore the backup in it.
    • With the RSync software. We create a VM in the cloud, configure RSync on the client’s side and start synchronization. The receiving machine will then be an exact copy of the source machine.
  • The easiest way to migrate in this case is with the help of a backup service, for example, that very Veeam Agent. A backup copy of data is created from the physical server, and then the copy is deployed in the GigaCloud cloud.
