Data Migration
‘The movement of data between storage devices, locations, or systems’
Data is moved efficiently, securely and in a controlled and managed way, reducing risk of data loss and service disruption
Host Based Data Migration
Typically, no additional cost, avoids downtime, flexible
Data is migrated at the host level, copying data using in-built O/S tools or utilising functionality built into logical volume managers
Appliance based Data Migration
Fast, flexible migration.
Data is migrated using a purpose-built migration appliance, or virtualisation appliances
Array based Data Migration
Typically, between same vendor/family arrays, sometimes seen as the easy approach
Array-based data migration uses functionality built into a particular storage vendor’s array to migrate data from existing (Source) array to new (Target) array
Application based Data Migration
Typically, no additional cost, avoids downtime, flexible
Data is migrated using utilities built into the application. This could be Oracle ASM for example
Software based Data Migration
More likely to be used for file or object migrations
Specialist software installed on customer server(s) to facilitate the movement of data. This could be from existing on-premise to cloud for example
Fabric Migration
Typically, no additional cost, avoids downtime, flexible
Data is migrated using utilities built into the application. This could be Oracle ASM for example
Workload Migration
Where the Operating system is being moved to new servers.
Typically for the migration of Physical to Virtual environments but includes any to any migrations between Physical, Virtual and Cloud Environments
