The transfer can occur between different formats or different computer systems. The migration ends only when the old system, database, or environment is shut down. Data migration ensures that data is successfully and securely transferred to another application, storage system or cloud. Although moving data from one platform to another can be risky and costly, it also provides an organization with numerous benefits.
There are four types of data migrations:
*Storage migration
*Database migration
*Application migration
*Cloud migration
*Business process migration
In storage migration, the process of moving data off existing arrays into more modern ones that enable other systems to access it. Offers significantly faster performance and more cost-effective scaling while enabling expected data management features such as cloning, snapshots, and backup and disaster recovery.
Database migration is used for moving an entire database from one vendor to another, or to upgrade the software currently being used for the database.
Business process of migration is driven by mergers and acquisitions, business optimization, or reorganization to address competitive challenges or enter new markets. All these changes may require the transfer of business applications and databases with data on customers, products, and operations to the new environment.
