Scenario

Enterprises are looking for server migration solutions to rapidly migrate their on-premises or cloud workloads to their preferred cloud service vendor. Alibaba Cloud Server Migration Center (SMC) is a migration service that helps you migrate your workloads from your on-premises data center or a third-party cloud virtual machine to an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance.

This solution helps you migrate most of your workloads and configurations to the cloud with minimal re-configurations; allows you to pre-check your source server against migration prerequisites before you start the migration task; facilitates fully automated and scripted server migration, especially when you have a large number of servers to migrate; automatically fixes drivers and deploys cloud-init after migration; and supports incremental replication for you to migrate your workloads with minimized server downtimes.
