Database Migration Service to Accelerate your Business Innovation
Cloud has today become the standard platform for running any type of IT services due to the performance and flexibility it offers. Organizations are utilizing features of cloud platforms such as scalability, consumption-based pricing, and easier management of infrastructure to achieve innovation and business agility. On-premises database migration to cloud has picked up in the last few years as IT heads are looking to cut down hardware and administration costs. To support IT functions, organizations have built data centers and server rooms in which they have housed databases to store data and utilize it for business purposes. To eliminate hardware and licensing costs and infrastructure management hassles, IT heads are looking at database migration service. Data center migration to cloud or migrating open-source databases running on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) having been an in-demand choice for organizations to embrace enhanced IT efficiency. And so, data migration consulting provides such enterprises a plan to develop a migration strategy that guarantees business continuity and minimal downtime. Motifworks data migration service ensures that data from platforms and databases is migrated safely and at high speed and even the data quality is not hampered. Our data migration consultants develop a tailored plan through best practices for enterprises looking to migrate to Azure SQL database.
Analyze the current database and migration objectives & scope
There are plenty of factors that needs to be analyzed before developing a database migration strategy. Assessing the type and size of data, operating system, target systems and cloud platform, gives data migration consultants a fair idea about the current database landscape. Understanding the complexities and mapping the data on current systems helps organizations plan a concrete database migration strategy.
Develop a tailored migration checklist
Information gathered during the assessment phase is utilized to develop a migration strategy and choose a migration approach that includes the 6 Rs – rehost, replatform, refactor/re-architect, repurchase, retire, and retain. Depending on how your existing database interacts with apps and other databases, a homogeneous or heterogeneous migration can be determined. An approach that delivers maximum benefit should be chosen for database migration.
Tweak database schema depending on your cloud migration approach
Once the migration planning and approach is defined, designing a target database is the first step in database migration. Migrating database schema from source to target database is a key task. Changing the schema depends on homogeneous or heterogeneous migration because the packages and features need to be compatible on target platform.
Move your data from source database to target database
When the schema migration is complete, then comes the part where data needs to be migrated from the source database to the target database. Data migration service offers the usage of tools and best practices to copy the current data on a new target and replicate all changes until an organization is ready for the cutover to the new database.
Create a test plan to accomplish successful database migration
Developing a test plan to carryout functional and performance testing is an important part of database migration. To ensure that applications are working well with the new database, our data consultants work with your team to develop unit tests to test out the application workflows. Testing database performance gives an idea about the database response time and any bottlenecks, which can be resolved repeatedly to achieve the desired performance.
