Abstract

According to one embodiment, a request is received for estimating migrating a first dataset from a first cloud system to a second cloud system. A migration cost estimation module determines a network bandwidth required to migrate the first dataset from the first cloud system to the second cloud system, determines a duplicated data time period during migration that the first dataset has to be maintained by both the first cloud system and the second cloud system for service continuity, and determines a total cost of migrating the first dataset from the first cloud system to the second cloud system based on the required network bandwidth and the duplicated data time period. It is then determined whether to migrate the first dataset from the first cloud system to the second cloud system based on the total cost.
