Database Migrations

Database migrations and Replications

We can implement end to end database migrations and replications from on-premises into the cloud, within the cloud and between homogeneous and heterogeneous database engines, for both production application systems and analytics data warehouses.

Design Data Migration Plan

Implementing a database migration involves creating a comprehensive strategy for transferring data from the existing database to a new system, including conducting a pre-migration data assessment and creating data mapping rules, a validation plan and an implementation plan to ensure a smooth transition and minimal disruption.

Design and Implement Data Migration Architecture

Designing and implementing data migration or replication architecture involves creating a robust system to efficiently transfer or synchronise data between systems, ensuring data integrity, minimal downtime and optimal performance. For example, using the AWS Database Migration Service.

Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Database Migrations

Homogeneous database migrations involve transferring data between similar database systems, while heterogeneous migrations involve moving data between different types of database systems, each requiring specific strategies to handle differences in schema, data types and functionalities.

Setup Fallbacks During Unforeseen Circumstances

Setting up a database migration architecture that supports a fallback during unforeseen circumstances involves implementing a failover strategy with redundant systems and data synchronisation to ensure continuity and quick recovery in case of migration failures or issues.

Migration Validations

Migration validations involve verifying that data has been accurately transferred and the target system meets all functional and performance criteria, while pre-migration assessments involve evaluating the source and target environments to ensure compatibility and identify potential risks.

On-Premises to Cloud and Within-Cloud Database Migrations

On-premises to cloud database migrations involve transferring data and applications from local infrastructure to a cloud-based environment, while within-cloud database migrations involve moving data between different cloud databases or services to optimise performance, scalability or cost-efficiency.
