Cirrus Migrate Cloud
Cirrus Migrate Cloud is a web-based service for moving block-storage data to and between cloud environments. It can migrate data while workloads remain in use, helping organizations continue operating during the move. Cirrus Data says its Transparent Data Intercept and cMotion technologies support minimal-downtime migrations. The service provides more than 30 block-storage plugins, automated migration operations, predefined playbooks, actionable insights, cutover orchestration, and migration reporting. It supports Windows and Linux workloads and is described as working with any block-storage vendor or public cloud, with migrations from hypervisors, bare metal, or hosted environments. It is available through the AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud marketplaces. Cirrus Data says data is encrypted in flight using AES 256-bit encryption; its Customer Center offers basic and premium support 24x7x365. The general service is paid with pricing on request, and its product page invites visitors to schedule a demo. A separate Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP trial offers 1 TB free for 30 days. The service is aimed at organizations moving block storage across on-premises, cloud, and multicloud environments.
