DETERMINING CONSISTENCIES IN STAGED REPLICATION DATA FOR DATA MIGRATION IN CLOUD BASED NETWORKS

Data migration among cloud-based storage networks is described. A method may include analyzing, by a processor, whether data from a data distribution service is consistent with a data payload of a host cloud provider. The method also includes determining, by the processor, in view of the analyzing, whether the data is a replica of the data payload of the host cloud provider. The method further includes determining, by the processor, whether to initiate a transport of the data to a resource associated with a target cloud provider.
