Quick Start
This section provides an overview of MgC core functions to help you quickly grasp its key capabilities.
TCO Analysis
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| You can specify your on-premises infrastructure details and related assumptions to estimate the potential cost savings from migrating workloads to Huawei Cloud. The system provides target equivalents for your source resources along with their pricing, helping you make informed decisions about cloud migration. | |
| You can use MgC to identify what and how many source resources you used, match the source resources with Huawei Cloud alternatives, and then compare the costs of your source environment with the costs on Huawei Cloud. |
Resource Survey
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| You can discover your resources on cloud platforms and collect resource details over the Internet. | |
| You can discover servers running in on-premises IDCs and vCenters. Before getting started, you need to install the MgC Agent in the source intranet. Then you can discover servers by network range or VMware vCenter. | |
| You can export a server list in Excel from RVTools and then import it into MgC. Once the import is complete, the system will automatically extract server details and display them in the server list. | |
| You can export resource details from Alibaba Cloud and Azure in CSV and import them directly into MgC. Once the import is complete, you can check and manage the resource details on the MgC console. | |
| You can use offline collectors to discover your resources and collect their details, and import the collected details to MgC for automated application dependency and association analysis. | |
| You can manually add details of servers and Oracle databases to MgC. To gather details about these resources, you need to install the MgC Agent in the source environment. | |
| By completing the questionnaires crafted from years of Huawei Cloud expertise, you can organize your source architecture and resources. |
Cloud Migration Assessment
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| You can get recommendations for Huawei Cloud resources based on the specifications, performance, and business purpose of source resources as well as your requirements for costs, availability, security, and compliance. | |
| You can assess potential migration risks before performing a migration. The assessment results will indicate whether your source servers are compatible with the target cloud in terms of OS, firmware, and specifications. | |
| You can estimate the costs and time required to migrate your storage data to Huawei Cloud based on the size and number of files to be migrated. MgC will calculate a migration cluster size, network bandwidth, and costs for the migration. This allows you to choose a migration solution that best fits your needs and budget. | |
| You can assess how much migration resources are required based on the number of tables and the volume of incremental data to be processed. The speed of data verification tasks depends on the cluster size. You can plan resources in advance to avoid project suspension due to insufficient resources, ensure efficient migration, and prevent service interruptions and cost wastes. |
Migration Implementation
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Migration tasks are available for multiple scenarios, including single-server migration, batch server migration, and cross-AZ server migration. | |
| Migration tasks are available for various file and object storage migration scenarios. | |
| Templates are available to help you create migration plans for various server, object storage, and file storage migration scenarios. Based on migration plans, you can seamlessly create migration workflows to complete your migration. | |
| Templates derived from best practices are available to help you create migration workflows for various scenarios. You can also create migration workflows by defining migration plans based on your actual scenarios. If needed, you can add stages and steps to workflows to meet your specific requirements. Once configured, workflows can be executed with one click and monitored in real time. | |
| You can migrate big data from Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute to Huawei Cloud DLI. | |
| You can verify the consistency of data migrated from various big data computing and storage engines, such as Hive, HBase, Doris, and MaxCompute. This ensures data accuracy and reliability, giving you confidence in migrating big data to Huawei Cloud. |
