The cost of a data migration cloud depends on several factors. The most important ones are:
Data volume. The amount of assets you need to migrate determines the amount of time and resources you’ll need to complete the project.
Content format. Moving assets from one system to another requires knowledge of the structure and contents of each file type. If unstructured or poorly organized, your input needs transforming and validation to power accurate analysis.
Migration complexity. Some migrations are simple — all it takes is an export/import operation or an SQL query to move your assets from one system to another. However, if your migration involves multiple systems and disparate technologies, things can get more expensive.
Your data migration services company. The location and experience of your third-party vendor also impact the costs. Thus, the US is typically considered a top-paid location, while other locations are more affordable.
Cloud provider. Subscriptions and paid services differ by provider.
