With so many new Cloud applications it is very easy for users new to storage lots of data in the Cloud.  But, what happen when you decide to change providers? ShuttleCloud is the answer.  The company offers an online tool that clients can use to transfer data between Cloud applications.  Services are currently available for Gmail, Yahoo, and any IMAP provider. Also, the company makes possible to transfer Google Docs, Contacts & Calendars and migrate entire Google Apps domains.  But much more is coming soon.

 

The service is extremely reliable and fast.  An exact estimate is difficult because of the many variables involved. However, the company has some of the fastest servers available and time is only limited by the bandwidth that the client’s email server allows.

A migration of tens of thousands of messages my take less than a day and a migration of hundreds of thousands of messages usually requires a day or two to complete.
