What is IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration?
IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration uses storage devices with 120 TB of usable capacity to accelerate moving data to the cloud and overcome common transfer challenges like high costs, long transfer times and security concerns — all in a single service.
Features and benefits
Move data fast
Using a single IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration device, you can migrate up to 120 TB of data (at RAID-6) in just days, as opposed to weeks or months using traditional data-transfer methods.
Flexible and scalable
Whether you need to migrate a few terabytes or many petabytes of data, you have the flexibility to request one or multiple devices to accommodate your workload.
Affordable
Moving large data sets can be expensive and time-consuming. Each IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration device is offered at an affordable rate including roundtrip shipping and 10 days of use at your site.
Simple process
IBM sends you a pre-configured device for you to simply connect, ingest data and then ship back to IBM for offload into Cloud Object Storage. Once offloaded, enjoy immediate access to your data in the cloud while IBM securely wipes the device.
End-to-end protection
Device design helps maximize security from the inside out using inline AES 256-bit encryption, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and RAID 6 configuration. Rugged, tamper-evident, waterproof and shockproof cases promote data protection and integrity during device handling and transport.
Secure erasure
IBM uses NIST data wipe standards to ensure complete erasure of all customer data from IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration devices.

Data center decommission
Jump-start your data center transformation and use IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration to securely move your sensitive data to the cloud as you downsize, expand or relocate your data center.
Limited bandwidth
IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration is a great alternative if you are in a remote location or find over-the-network options to be cost-prohibitive, too slow, or unavailable for your data transfer.
