These hacks are the advanced approaches that large enterprises use to migrate their Egnyte files and folders (often in 100s of TBs and PBs) securely and successfully.

Check them out below:

Hack No. 1: Create a Proper Scope of Work

The most important hack to creating Egnyte to SharePoint migration success at any scale is to prepare a proper scope of work. In fact, most large enterprises swear by this approach.

Here’s a simple action plan to create a proper scope of migration:

  1. Finalize the size of files and folders to migrate
  2. Finalize the user accounts to migrate
  3. Choose features, such as permissions and timestamps, to migrate

Scope of Work

Hack No. 2: Use High-Performance Migration Infrastructure

Another hack that helps large enterprises create their migration success is to use high-performance infrastructure.

Similar to large-sized enterprise companies, you can use dedicated servers and multiple instances to ensure your team does not face downtime when a high volume of files and folders are transferred.

Also, make sure to focus on these areas when prepare migration infrastructure:

  • Sanitization of servers before migration
  • Assessment of the hardware configuration of the servers
  • Server uptime guarantees
  • Server usage license policies, e.g., annual commitment

Hack No. 3: Ensure Ample Availability of API Calls

At CloudFuze, we recommend most of our large enterprise customers to ensure ample availability of source and destination cloud API calls. With this approach, we have helped some of the largest companies avoid the risk of API throttling.

Check the number of API calls you have in your company’s Egnyte and Microsoft 365 licenses. You can then discuss with our migration team about whether the available calls will be sufficient for the number of files and folders you plan to migrate from Egnyte to SharePoint.

Our team will suggest purchasing extra API calls if they will not suffice for the planned migration.

Hack No. 4: Validate Each Batch as And When They Get Migrated

Another hack that most of our enterprise customers use is to validate each user batch as and when their one-time and delta migration gets completed.

With this approach, it becomes easier to validate the migration and check its accuracy and security-related integrity. Also, it becomes less time-consuming to fix any file migration that encounter conflicts.
