The Windows Server Agent is a small binary that moves data from a local server to the Movebot cloud and onto the destination cloud storage provider.
This software is run as an executable and can be also run as a service. While every migration is different, we recommend the resources below.
Server Requirements
CPU | 4-8 VCPU Cores |
Memory | 16Gb |
Hard Disk Space | 32GB of free disk |
Network Requirements
Migrations are upload intensive by nature and so the speed of your migration will be heavily dependant on your internal and external network capacity. We recommend a 1Gb uplink speed over fibre where possible.
Firewall Requirements
The Movebot agent communicates with the Movebot control plane and APIs exclusively via HTTPS. This means that no additional ports are needed to be opened, however if your organisation has a proxy server or web filter, you may need to allow the following domains out.
fileio.couchdrop.io |
api.couchdrop.io |
*.movebot.io |
8.8.8.8, 4.4.4.4 |
