Moving data closer to the cloud environment’s computing nodes is essential to meet the needs of throughput and IOPS. Seamless data migration requires a strategic approach and reliable utilities to conduct in a secure and reliable way.
 
+Your data migration strategy should:
 - Retain all existing file and directory structure from source to target.
 - Retain all metadata related to the files, including user and group ownership, permissions, modification time, and access time.
 - Report on the results of the data migration or copy tool.
 - Implement a data migration restart process.

+# Storage migration overview
 
 With the cloud offering a broader range of storage solutions compared to on-premises systems, it's essential to define where different types of data—such as user home directories, project data, and scratch disks—should be stored. The section also discusses data migration strategies, whether it involves a one-time transfer or continuous synchronization between on-premises systems and the cloud. Organizations can optimize costs and performance by carefully selecting storage options and utilizing tools for efficient data movement.
