Abstract
A method and associated systems for optimized orchestration of a data-migration project. A data-migration orchestration system represents a hierarchical organization of each dataset to be migrated as a tree, where each leaf node of the tree represents data to be migrated and where a path between the leaf node and the root node represents a hierarchical directory pathname of sensitive data represented by the leaf node. Each tree is assigned a sensitivity signature that is proportional to the relative sensitivity and access frequency of the dataset represented by that tree. The signatures are organized into clusters as a function of the distances between each signature, and each signature is associated with a soft migration cost specific to that signature's cluster. A soft cost for migrating an application that requires multiple datasets may be determined by adding the migration costs associated with each of the multiple datasets.
