Unfortunately, you have limited options to move data across clouds primarily COPY command or sstableloader (https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.1/cassandra/migrating.html) or if you plan to maintain a like-to-like setup (same number of nodes) across clouds then simply copying snapshots under data would work.

If you are moving to IBM Softlayer, you maybe able to use software-defined storage solutions that get deployed on bare metal and provide features like thin clones that will allow you to create clones of cassandra clusters in matter of minutes and provide incredible space savings. This is rather useful for creating clones for dev/test purposes. Checkout Robin Systems, you may find them interesting.

The cleanest way to migrate your data from one cluster to another is using the sstableloader tool. This will allow you to stream the contents of your sstables from a local directory to a remote cluster. In this case the new cluster can also be configured differently and you also don't have to worry about assigned tokens.
