Simple Object Storage Migrations




Simple-object-storage-migrations

Migrating data between object storage platforms is difficult and can take a lot of time. This post will cover how to migrate data between two object storage endpoints, whether it is Amazon S3, Azure Blob, IBM S3, Dell EMC, Wasabi, Cloudian, GCP or anything in between using Movebot. 

In reality, if you have your bucket names and API keys ready to go, this will take less than a minute. 

 


Step 1: Create a Movebot account

Go to the Movebot registration page and create an account, it'll only take a minute. Once your account is created you will be taken into your Movebot dashboard.

Step 2: Add source platform

Here you can select from the list of available options, if an S3 compatible option isn't displayed, then select S3 Compatible and fill out the required fields.

When you've worked through the fields (bucket name, API keys, etc.) move on to the destination.

Step 3: Add destination platform

Repeat for the destination. Movebot supports Amazon S3 as well as other S3 compatible storage. If working with Amazon S3 and you don't enter a specific bucket name, all buckets become available. Otherwise, folders within your buckets are available and can be drilled into further.

Step 4: Settings and Advanced Options

Movebot is fully customizable right down to the region the migration is run from and how many worker nodes you wish to run on each individual migration. You can also enable a delta migration or require a scan to be run and approved before the migration can be started.

Step 5: The Migration

Once you've kicked off the migration it will stand up the worker nodes required to begin migrating your data. You can monitor your migration via logs,  by the dashboard or by the available status screen for the individual migration.

“Simple to use – outstanding support.”

Movebot's support team was legendary in their quick responses and willingness to jump on a video conference to talk through how to resolve the problems. They have deep knowledge of their product and of the file storage platforms their solution is built for. We can approach future migrations with a lot less trepidation – given the accuracy and speed of Movebot, but especially because of their support team.

“Efficient, Reliable, and Exceptionally Supported”

Movebot has been an indispensable tool for our MSP looking for an efficient and reliable data migration solution. Our experience with it across various platforms, including SharePoint, Egnyte, on-prem file servers migrating to SharePoint, and O365 tenant to tenant migrations has been exceptionally positive. Their support team is responsive, offering assistance via and Discord, which was great in a pinch.

“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!
