Migration Tool Deployment

Huawei Cloud provides the following migration tools: Migration Center (MgC), Resource Discovery and Assessment (RDA), Server Migration Service (SMS), Data Replication Service (DRS), Redis data migration tool, Cloud Data Migration (CDM), Object Storage Migration Service (OMS), and the like.

• MgC: a complete migration platform. It combines several Huawei Cloud migration tools and offers ready-to-use migration workflows based on best practices. Choose a suitable template for your specific migration needs.

  For more information, see the Migration Center Documentation.

• RDA: a tool for Windows that helps assess your readiness for cloud migration. It discovers your application's infrastructure, including VM specifications, CPU, memory usage, and network topology. RDA also provides recommendations for moving applications to Huawei Cloud and offers full server migration support.
• SMS is a P2V or V2V migration service that allows you to migrate x86 physical servers or VMs on private or public clouds to ECSs on Huawei Cloud.

  See the Server Migration Service Documentation for more information.

• DRS: a cloud service for real-time database migration and synchronization. It offers real-time migration, backup migration, real-time synchronization, data subscription, and real-time DR.

  See the Data Replication Service Documentation for more information.

• Redis: migrates data from your self-hosted Redis or other Redis services to Redis on Huawei Cloud. The source Redis must support the SYNC and PSYNC commands.

  See the Distributed Cache Service Documentation for more information.

• CDM: supports nearly 20 common data sources to meet different data migration scenarios on and off the cloud.

  See the Cloud Data Migration Documentation for more information.

• OMS: migrates object storage data from other cloud vendors to Huawei Cloud OBS.

  See the Object Storage Migration Service Documentation for more information.

Deploy RDA on the Windows ECS in the Huawei Cloud VPC. OMS is a public service and does not use the VPC's internal IP addresses. If you use Direct Connect for data migration, deploy the offline OMS tool on an ECS in the Huawei Cloud VPC. Other tools will temporarily use the VPC's internal IP addresses.
