Migrating data among cloud-based storage networks via a data distribution service

摘要

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for migrating data between cloud networks via a data distribution service. In aspects, an administrator of a data payload may wish to migrate the data payload from a host cloud network to a target cloud provider to leverage cost, security, redundancy, consolidation, or other advantages. The data distribution service can identify target cloud providers with sets of resources that are capable of hosting the data payload. Further, the data distribution service can determine that the target cloud providers are connected to or capable of being connected to the data distribution service via a set of dedicated communication channels. According to aspects, the data distribution service can receive the data payload from the host cloud network, and transport the data payload to a selected target cloud provider via the set of dedicated communication channels.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
identifying, for migration, a data payload in a host storage cloud of a host cloud provider; receiving an instruction to migrate the data payload from the host storage cloud of the host cloud provider; determining, by a processor associated with a data distribution service, a set of resources associated with a target cloud provider, wherein the determining is based on a set of transport parameters associated with the set of resources to host the data payload, the set of transport parameters comprising a schedule to migrate the data payload, and at least one of a data format capability, a security level, a secure connection capability, or an amount of data of the set of resources; receiving, by the processor associated with the data distribution service, the data payload from the host storage cloud via a first set of dedicated transport connections; storing the data payload in a staged data store associated with the data distribution service; encrypting the data payload; and initiating, based on the set of transportation parameters, transport of the encrypted data payload from the data distribution service to the set of resources via a second set of dedicated transport connections.
