Case Study: Computrade Technology Malaysia achieves secure, reliable 2 TB cloud migrations with Carbonite Migrate (Carbonite)

Computrade Malaysia migrates 2 TBs with Carbonite Migrate

Computrade Technology Malaysia, a small IT solutions distributor, needed to help local clients meet strict regulatory requirements that favor in-country data centers while moving mixed Windows and Linux workloads between Alibaba Cloud regions and from onsite servers to the cloud. The project required migrating large datasets (over 2 TB) and overcoming connectivity and security hurdles such as VPN/site-to-site options, IPsec/GRE tunneling and intrusion-prevention/firewall configurations.

Computrade used Carbonite Migrate (Powered by DoubleTake) to perform the migrations, moving a Windows Server 2012 R2 environment and CentOS 7.3 systems between Alibaba Cloud data centers and later migrating ~500 GB of onsite development data into Alibaba Malaysia. By testing connectivity methods and simplifying security configurations with Carbonite support, the team completed the migrations successfully; clients now favor Carbonite Migrate for its simplicity, broad platform support and reliable cross-cloud capability.
