What Is MgC?

Migration Center (MgC) provides a unified platform for you to easily migrate, modernize, and optimize your applications using tools built based on Huawei Cloud's migration methodologies and best practices.

MgC Architecture

The MgC service consists of two parts: MgC and the MgC Agent (formerly named Edge). MgC is a cloud service deployed on Huawei Cloud, while the MgC Agent is a program you deploy in your source environment.

MgC is deployed on the cloud and provides six features (TCO analysis, resource discovery and collection, migration design, migration orchestration, big data migration, and big data verification). It follows a service-based development and operations approach.
The MgC Agent stores sensitive data, such as user credentials, locally and perform operations on local resources. It also executes commands from MgC and reports execution results back to MgC.
