Cloud Migration Service

Overview

Cloud Migration Service provides custom migration solutions based on your workloads to be migrated. Then, Huawei Cloud will conduct the migration for you.

This document can be used as a reference for customer contracts and specifies the application scope, responsibilities of both contract parties, and project completion standards. If a conflict arises between this document and customer contracts, the latter shall take precedence.

Service Scope

This service can be used to:

  • Provide cloud deployment suggestions, design solutions to migrate servers, databases, and data, and conduct the migration based on the clarified applications and data to be migrated.
  • Provide infrastructure assurance during the migration.

This service cannot be used to:

  • Design or refactor your applications and databases.
  • Install or deploy your applications and databases.
  • Design infrastructure or set up and environments for the cloud platform.
  • Configure communication components required by migration.
  • Migrate applications, databases, or data that is beyond the project scope.

Storage data migration

Migrate on-premises full and incremental data to Huawei Cloud and verify the migration result.

Stress testing

For web-based applications, perform high-concurrency stress testing through concurrent website logins, information queries, and other operations.Provide metric values such as the number of concurrent requests, operation success rate, response delay, and TPS, and offer suggestions to address bottlenecks.

Service switchover assurance

Ensure stable infrastructure so that the services migrated to Huawei Cloud run properly.
