Cost-based migration waves planning

Abstract:

A system and method for cost-based migration planning includes determining cost factors and constraints associated with at least one of migrating and transforming a plurality of components. A cost-based model is constructed using the cost factors and constraints. The cost-based model is applied to groupings of the plurality of components to provide a cost-based determination grouping scheme in accordance with the constraints. The grouping scheme is output to provide migration waves for migrating or transforming the plurality of components.
