YVOLV Cloud Migration Strategies: Heterogeneous Data Migration, Application Migration Service

YVOLV Cloud Migration Services

Database Migration Service

YVOLV Data Migration involves Alibaba Cloud Data Transmission Service (DTS) to efficiently transfer information to cloud. The data migration approach may differ from types of database engines, sizes to read-write frequencies. However, migration from local database to Alibaba Cloud Apsara DB is the crucial step. Alibaba Cloud DTS supports:

Hot Migration

migration is adopted to reduce the downtime of applications.

Resumable Data Transfer

This involves resuming data transferring tasks to ensure smooth migration in a harsh network environment and reduce re-migration when interrupted.

Data Consistency Validation

The data is verified real-time for consistency both for full and incremental data.

Heterogeneous Migration

Alibaba DTS supports heterogeneous migration between data engines. It allows migration from both homogenous platforms such MySQL to MySQL and heterogeneous platforms such as Oracle to MySQL.

Based on your business requirements, there are multiple options available for OLAP database migration. Some of our options include Alibaba Cloud ApsaraDB for RDS, a self-built database on Alibaba Cloud ECS, a distributed relational database system (DRDS) or a Big Data warehouses ODPS as the target database.

Image and Application Migration

Image migration often involves “mirroring” information, OS (Operating System) and apps from the host to Alibaba Cloud. With this, an identical ECS host instance is created and enable smooth migration process.

Image and Application Migration involves three categories:

Cross Platform Migration to Alibaba Cloud

A physical server, virtual server or other platform to Alibaba Cloud.

Cross-Account Image Migration

Migration between different Alibaba Cloud accounts.

Cross-Region Image Migration

Migration across regions within the same Alibaba Cloud account.

Offline Workload Migration

YVOLV Offline Migration toolkit supports moving from physical Linux or other workloads. The toolkit enables exporting the workloads from VHD formats and import them to Alibaba Cloud. This synchronization platform ensures stability, efficiency, elasticity and at the same time be scalable.

It supports the following formats:

Text storage (FTP/SFTP/OSS/Multimedia files)
Database (RDS/DRDS/MySQL/PostgreSQL)
NoSQL (Memcache/Redis/MongoDB/HBase)
Big data (MaxCompute/AnalyticDB/HDFS)
MPP database (HybridDB for MySQL)

Migration as a Service

Whether it is migrating from Physical to Cloud (P2C), Virtual to Cloud (V2C), Cloud to Cloud (C2C), YVOLV assists its clients to choose to migrate information to Alibaba Cloud effortlessly. YVOLV offers a wide range of migration services to ensure smooth workflow.
