    Article Summary

    Wasabi Cloud Sync Manager (WCSM) is a platform that serves the migration of third-party cloud (or on-premise S3 Object stores) to Wasabi.

    Third Party Cloud (or on-premise S3 Object stores) to Wasabi Migration

    Wasabi Cloud Sync Manager (WCSM) can be used to migrate (copy) data out of third-party cloud accounts and on-premise S3 Object stores (such as AWS, Azure, GCP, Backblaze, RStor, and many more) to Wasabi with assistance from Wasabi Product Support.

    Migration is a paid managed offering from Wasabi. The customer will only have to add their cloud credentials to the WCSM portal. The Wasabi Admin will then migrate the data from their cloud account to Wasabi based on information provided by the customer.

    The migration service does have some charges associated with it. The majority of these charges are rendered to the cloud vendor where the data currently resides, as part of their egress fees. However, due to the way WCSM is architected, the customer will not incur any egress fees directly from the hyperscaler. The charges from Wasabi (less than $.05/GB) are typically much lower than the egress fees hyperscalers charge customers (up to $.09/GB) due to the presence of direct connect transport connections between Wasabi and the third-party cloud vendors.
