Differences vs Huawei

Assessment model differs: Google emphasizes fit/sizing recommendations and modernization guidance, while Huawei uses MGC-driven migration readiness with Huawei target patterns.
Pricing model differs: Migration Center is listed with no additional service cost, while MGC itself is free but execution consumes paid Huawei services.

Migration to Huawei

Map discovery/assessment, replication pipeline, and cutover checkpoints with rollback criteria. For Google Cloud Migration Center, the direct Huawei equivalence layer is MGC; validate feature-by-feature parity for control plane, data plane, and operational behavior before cutover.
Use a composed Huawei migration pattern where needed: MGC + SMS + DRS + OMS. Treat MGC as the core equivalent capability and use the additional services to cover integration, security, observability, and governance gaps.
Pricing model difference: Google Cloud usually bills migration tooling/runtime and transferred-data charges plus target infrastructure costs; Huawei usually bills MGC governance plus SMS/OMS/CDM/DRS runtime, migrated volume, and network/resource consumption. Recalculate TCO with peak load, request volume, retention period, and cross-region/interconnect traffic before production migration.
