SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR STAGED DATA MIGRATION BETWEEN DATA SOURCES AND CLOUD-BASED STORAGE NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method of managing the transport of data to at least one host storage cloud, comprising:
- receiving an identification of a data payload to be transported from a data source in a premise network to the at least one host storage cloud;
initiating the transport of the data payload from the premise network to a data distribution service via at least a set of dedicated staging connections;
storing the data payload in the data distribution service;
identifying a set of dedicated transport connections between the data distribution service and the at least one host storage cloud; and
initiating the transport of the data payload from the data distribution service to the at least one host storage cloud via the set of dedicated transport connections.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for staged data migration between data sources and a cloud-based storage network. In aspects, a user can maintain a user premise network including servers, clients, local area networks, data stores, and/or other network assets. An administrator or other user of the premise network may wish to extract data from the premise network and transfer that data payload to a set of host storage clouds to leverage cost, redundancy, consolidation, or other cloud advantages. A cloud data delivery (CDD) service can be established to stage the upload of the data payload to the set of host storage clouds using a set of managed or dedicated lines to the CDD service, and to the host storage clouds at network edge. The connections between the premise network/CDD service and CDD service/host storage clouds can be selected and/or optimized to provide high-bandwidth connections tailored to the schedule, cost, or other requirements of the data payload to be transported.

17. A system for managing the transport of data to at least one host storage cloud, comprising:
-
an interface to a set of staged data stores associated with a data distribution service; and a processor, communicating with the set of staged data stores via the interface, the processor being configured to— receive an identification of a data payload to be transported from a data source in a premise network to the at least one host storage cloud, initiate the transport of the data payload from the premise network to the data distribution service via at least a set of dedicated staging connections, store the data payload in the set of staged data stores associated with the data distribution service, identify a set of dedicated transport connections between the data distribution service and the at least one host storage cloud, and initiate the transport of the data payload from the data distribution service to the at least one host storage cloud via the set of dedicated transport connections. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
