Service Overview

As cloud migration and cloud use are becoming more and more mature, enterprises choose to use cloud storage and migrate their data to cloud. This cloud migration process involves the planning and design, migration implementation, and continuous optimization. For storage services already running on the cloud, enterprises still have requirements on performance optimization, security configuration, backup and disaster recovery, cost analysis, collaboration between public and private clouds, and others.

To fit such needs, Huawei Cloud launches Data Cloudification Design and Implementation Service. This service is based on Huawei Cloud storage services and solutions and consists of the following packages: planning and design, migration implementation, and technical support. All these services can simplify cloud migration and speed up data migration, helping customers migrate their data to cloud in a secure, reliable, and efficient way.
