Migration-Planning

Data Migration and Database Modernization Data migration and database modernization work together to keep systems reliable and scalable. Migration moves data from one environment to another, while modernization updates how we store, access, and protect it. When done well, they reduce risk, speed up decisions, and cut costs. Begin with a clear assessment. Gather an inventory of sources, schemas, and data volumes. Map how data flows to apps and reports. Note regulatory needs and any downstream dependencies. Set concrete goals for performance, cost, and resilience. ...

Cloud Migration Strategies for Enterprises Cloud migration is a strategic program, not a single event. Enterprises move data, apps, and teams to a new operating model. The goal is not only technology, but speed, resilience, and cost predictability. Teams often start with a simple lift-and-shift to move legacy workloads, then layer in replatforming or refactoring to gain cloud-native benefits. Core strategies include: Lift and shift (rehost): move workloads with minimal changes to speed up migration. Replatforming: adjust components to use cloud services, gaining some benefits with modest effort. Refactoring: rebuild critical applications for cloud-native patterns, improving scalability but taking more time. Hybrid and multi-cloud: balance control and flexibility, keeping sensitive data on private systems while using public clouds for burst capacity. FinOps and governance: set cost controls, monitoring, and policy enforcement across clouds. Plan in phases to control risk and learn quickly. Start with a clear inventory of apps, data, and interdependencies. Classify by business value and risk. Build a migration backlog with target states. Design a target architecture that covers security, identity, data residency, and observability. Choose a pilot project that can demonstrate value within weeks. ...
