Migrate application servers, containers, databases, and data to Alibaba Cloud with tailored products and services
Migrate Application Servers
You can use Alibaba Cloud Server Migration Center (SMC) to migrate one or more source servers to Alibaba Cloud. Source servers can be servers in data centers, VMs, servers on other cloud platforms, and servers of other types. You can also use third-party migration tools such as saasame for the migration of on-premise VMs and images.
For agentless migration of VMWare virtual machines, you can use Alibaba Cloud Hybrid Backup Recovery (HBR) to ensure cost-effective disaster recovery and migration for data stored in VMware virtual machines.
Migrate Containers
You can migrate containers to Alibaba Cloud with your own self-built platform or the tools we provide. First create and configure resources on the target clusters, then migrate data to corresponding Alibaba Cloud services. For example, migrate images to Container Registry, databases to ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL and PolarDB, and data storage to Object Storage Service and File Storage NAS. Next you can choose to migrate applications with your self-built CI/CD platform, or with Alibaba Cloud Velero. Last, test the services of your business after migration, and update the DNS configuration to switch traffic to ACK clusters.
You can also migrate docker image files with Alibaba Cloud Image Syncer to Alibaba Cloud Container Registry.
Migrate Databases
Alibaba Cloud Database Migration solution provides a low-cost self-service database migration experience. Both homogenous migration such as MySQL to MySQL, or heterogenous migration such as Oracle Database to PolarDB, are supported. You can smoothly migrate databases from 100s of GB to multiple TBs in size with minimal business impact.
You can also leverage the Oracle Database Migration solution to migrate your legacy Oracle databases to Alibaba Cloud to save on long-term costs and take advantage of improved scalability, reliability, robust security, high performance, and cloud-native features.
Migrate Data
You can migrate data from a local IDC to Alibaba Cloud OSS, or from an on-premises Network Attached Storage (NAS) server to Apsara File Storage NAS or OSS for long-term storage. You can also migrate the data of a web-based service provider from a cloud service to Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS). Please refer to Data Online Migration for detailed migration instructions based on your business needs.
