Google Cloud to Wasabi Cloud Storage Migrations




Migrate-google-cloud-to-wasabi

If you are looking to migrate hundreds, if not thousands of terabytes of data from Google Cloud Storage to Wasabi Hot Cloud Object Storage this can be daunting. But where do you start? Migrating hundreds of terabytes from Google Cloud to Wasabi is possible thanks to Movebot. 

Why move from Google Cloud to Wasabi?

The presumption is that you are migrating to save your precious monthly pennies and remove those excess GCP fees. Google by far is the most expensive solution when it comes to object storage, and Wasabi on the other hand is the cheapest. Using Wasabi's online comparison tool, for 500TB with 20% accessed each month, you can save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. 

 

More than simple file moving

If you are wanting high performance and all the bells and whistles, this is when cloud data migration tools such as Movebot come into play. Fully cloud-native and easy enough that you can set up and walk away, Movebot makes data moving easy. With tools like a pre-flight scan, comprehensive reporting, and an in-depth data explorer, Movebot makes sure your data ends up where it needs to be. 

Movebot provides full logging, governance and reporting on your data so you know what makes it across, and what doesn't and why. As well you can see a breakdown of the data and its structure. We always recommend starting with a pre-flight scan. It's free and lets you know if there is anything you need to do on your end before moving files to ensure they are moved over successfully.

“A Game Changer In Data Migration”

Movebot.io emerges as a frontrunner in data migration tools. Its rapid data transfers, user-intuitive interface, and compatibility across cloud platforms mark it as a standout. Added security measures bolster data protection. In the realm of data migration, Movebot.io truly transforms the landscape, offering a streamlined and elevated experience.

“Great team, great product!”

We needed a tool for moving large data sets with detailed enough logging to give us confidence in the successful move of millions of files and folders. Previous tools we used choked on large data sets (>1TB or > 1 Million files) or the logging was too simplistic for us know find errors or have confidence in deleting the source data set at the end of the migration. Movebot solved this for us.

“When you put dedication, attention to detail and quality support, you get this.”

I tried several competitors, and there was always something: lack of human contact, price, quality, speed, etc. I started looking around and ended up meeting with the VP of Sales for Movebot, he jumped on a call, and we went over the product, capability, and next steps and WOW. I have been using Movebot for a while now, and to be honest, there is no one out there doing the job the way they do.

“Amazing tool for migrations!”

Fantastic experience... We were able to do a file migration for a high-priority / high-touch client and move them to Azure AD from their on-prem environment in approximately 48 hours. The scanning and the data move itself really felt seamless. Thank you so much for the tool and to your incredible team!
