Overview
BigQuery Migration Services
BigQuery Migration Services streamlines your migrations with best-in-class automation, and predictable and bounded costs. Fully automated assessment with TCO helps you predict your data platform's landed state and plan your move. Gemini enhanced batch and interactive translators convert your code from 15+ sources. Intelligent data migration and validation ensure immediate availability of your modernized workloads.
Data platform migration incentives
Migrating data platforms is not a trivial undertaking. We are introducing a new migration incentives program to help with your migration. This program includes Google Cloud credits to offset your migration costs, implementation services through Google or from eligible partners, and cloud egress credits to cover costs associated with moving data from AWS or Azure.
Data warehouse migration
Migrating your data warehouse to BigQuery helps you maximize value from your multimodal data. It supports diverse data analytics and lakehouse workloads with a user-friendly interface that enables data analysts, data engineers, and data scientists to work across the same set of governed data. It's more cost-effective compared to other solutions, making it a smart choice for businesses looking to leverage enterprise data for AI.
Data lake migration
Legacy data lakes cannot efficiently store and process the large volumes of unstructured data that AI thrives upon. Often, data silos persist across warehouses, lakes, and clouds, and many organizations simply lack the compute resources required for building and serving AI models. If you don’t want to rebuild your on-premises data lake in the cloud, lift and shift your data to Google Cloud to unlock cost savings and scale.
