How CMH Helps Your Migration to Alibaba Cloud
TCO Analysis for Cloud Migration
CMH provides a comprehensive evaluation of cloud migration for your enterprise regardless of whether you migrate data from third-party cloud systems or self-managed data centers to Alibaba Cloud. You can obtain the purchase list that is required to migrate data to Alibaba Cloud and the migration cost comparison. This helps you make decisions on cloud migration.
Billing Analysis for Third-party Cloud Systems
You can assign an account that has read-only permissions on a third-party cloud system for CMH. Then, CMH automatically performs billing analysis and mapping between the existing cloud services and the Alibaba Cloud services. This way, you can compare the costs between the existing cloud system and Alibaba Cloud.
Cost Analysis for Data Migration from Data Centers
CMH identifies resources in your data centers by using non-intrusive collection tools. In addition, CMH automatically generates cloud resource lists and predicts bills for the cloud migration of these resources. This way, you can compare the costs of migrating data to Alibaba Cloud with the average costs of maintaining data centers in your region.
Full-coverage System Survey
CMH offers rich capabilities for surveys on cloud migration sources, including third-party cloud systems and self-managed data centers. CMH provides application topologies to help you create subsequent migration plans.
Survey on Third-party Cloud Systems
