Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for context relevant data migration to a cloud server with job rescheduling are provided. The method identifies a contextual situation associated with at least a portion of data sets available for migration to a cloud server by a set of data sources. The method identifies an application associated with the contextual situation. A set of use characteristics are determined for the data sets based on the contextual situation and the application. Bandwidths are determined for one or more data sources. One or more data sets are selected for prioritization based on a contextual relevance, the set of use characteristics, and the bandwidths for the one or more data sources. The method schedules a job processing sequence of the selected one or more data sets based, at least in part, on the contextual relevancy, the set of use characteristics, and the bandwidths.
