Abstract
In one aspect, a computer-implemented method useful for migrating hundreds of Terabyte to Petabyte of data to a cloud-computing environment with a data transfer appliance includes the step of providing a data transfer appliance, wherein the data transfer appliance comprises an operating system, one or more computing processing units (CPU's), a memory, and a data storage systems. The computer-implemented method includes the step of implementing data capture from a data storage system to the data transfer appliance. The computer-implemented method includes the step of storing the dedupe form of the data in the data transfer appliance. The computer-implemented method includes the step of shipping the data transfer appliance to a specified cloud-computing platform access point. The computer-implemented method includes the step of implementing data rehydration on the dedupe form of the data in the data transfer appliance.
