Companies might want to migrate their data for a variety of reasons, such as cost savings, better integration with other tools they use, more suitable features in another service, or changes in company policy.

Challenges can include ensuring data integrity during transfer, maintaining the structure of files and folders, preserving sharing permissions, and minimizing downtime during the transfer. Another important challenge is the speed of migration, being able to migrate at high-speed without being throttled by the sources and the targets. Cloudiway’s migration platform enable high speed migration by allowing you to create multiple connectors in order to maximize migrations in parallal.

Steps usually involve discovery, audit, preprocessing and migration.

• Discovery: this is is the first step of the migration process. It will connect to the source and automatically discover your list of users.
• Audit: this second step connects to the sources and discovers the volumetry (number of files, size and number of folders).
• Preprocessing: This tasks recreates the storage  object at the target (user Drive, Library, Site, Team, etc…)
• The last step is the migration itself.

The duration of the migration depends on the amount of data to be moved, the number of files and depth of folder structure. The more there are folders and permissions, the more there are calls to migrate accurately the content. Furthermore, it’s more expensive to migrate 1000 files of 1kb rather than 1 file of 1mb.
