product type

Select the most suitable migration method according to your business scenario

Online migration

Adaptation scenario: Easily migrate your data from other cloud service providers or local machine rooms to AliCloud Object Storage (OSS) or AliCloud File Storage (NAS) through public network or leased line bandwidth
Migration data source: Support object storage and file storage NAS

Offline migration (Lightning Cube)

Adaptation scenario: The bandwidth of the local computer room is small or there is no public network, and the TB to PB level local data can be migrated to the cloud through customized migration equipment (Lightning Cube)
Migration data source: Support local file system NFS, NAS, HDFS, FastDFS, CIFS, HDFS and other data sources

Product advantages

Easy to use and flexible

• Real time monitoring of migration process and online display of migration progress
• Migration results are reported, and the completion is clear at a glance
• Support visual configuration page, only three steps to set deployment tasks

Safe and reliable

• HTTPS data encryption channel is adopted during transmission
• Support MD5 or CRC to automatically identify the source end verification specification,
Perform read/write bidirectional verification

High transmission performance

• Support multi task and high concurrency
• Support personalized flow control, which can specify the maximum traffic within a time period, to avoid competing for network bandwidth between migrated data and online business access

Flexible expansion and low cost

• A single device can support 40TB 100TB 480TB migration data capability, and multiple sets can be used at the same time to improve migration efficiency
• Compared with traditional Internet or leased line access
The cost is greatly reduced and the migration speed is greatly improved

Easy deployment

• Professional equipment, standard rack and power supply for data migration can be deployed simultaneously to improve migration efficiency
• Support multiple data source types: local file system, NAS, HDFS, FastDFS, etc

Safe and reliable

• CRC technology is used for two-way verification of read and write to ensure data consistency
• Provide end-to-end encryption mechanism to transport and upload data
• After data migration, ensure that data will not be acquired by third parties through the official data erasure mechanism of Alibaba Cloud

Product Functions

Support hot migration to reduce application downtime during system migration

It can realize hot migration without stopping the service. After the migration of stock data is completed, the incremental data migration function is used to periodically scan the incremental data to migrate the data to the AliCloud target data source, which can reduce the application downtime during the system migration to seconds.

Perfect migration monitoring visualization platform, no operation and maintenance costs

Migration process monitoring: Support migration progress query and migration traffic data monitoring;
Migration Task Report: Support migration completion rate statistics and print the list of failed files;
Flexible migration control: It supports starting and stopping migration tasks at any time, dynamically modifying migration flow limits, and retrying failed tasks.

Lightning Cube supports graphical management

Lightning Cube provides a graphical configuration interface for users to log in to the device and configure network, data migration tasks and migration parameters.

From the local machine room to Alibaba Cloud

Step 1: Select the Lightning Cube model and place an order;
Step 2: mail the equipment to the user's computer room and upload data;
Step 3: The device is mailed back to the designated machine room of Alibaba Cloud to transfer data to the cloud. Understand the detailed workflow

Application scenarios

Data migration to OSS

Data migration to NAS

Self service offline migration

Data migration to OSS

User data is stored in the object storage of a third-party cloud service provider, and needs to be migrated to AliCloud object storage OSS. During the migration required by the user, the normal operation of the business should be ensured and the normal reading of data by the user should not be affected. After the migration is completed, it is necessary to ensure data integrity and seamless business switching.

Able to solve

It is recommended to use online migration services to easily migrate data from third-party cloud service providers to AliCloud OSS, and use OSS's image back to source function to achieve data hot migration without interrupting business.

Recommended combination

Object Storage OSS

Data migration to NAS

User data is stored in the file system of the local server. The local machine room can realize the network interworking between the VPC on the cloud and the local machine room by building a VPC, using leased lines and other connection methods, and use online migration services to migrate local data to Alibaba Cloud NAS.

Able to solve

With online migration service, you only need to fill in the address information of the source NAS and target NAS on the console, and create a migration task. After the migration task is started, you can manage the migration task through the console and view the migration progress, status and other information; You can also view the migration file list and error file list.

Recommended combination

File Storage NAS
