Types of Data Migration in Atlanta, GA

Data migration is a broad term that encompasses many different specific processes in Atlanta, GA. We provide the following types of data migration:

• Storage migration between physical storage units:

  Organizations might need this because they are moving to other storage systems that protect data better and can house more of it. Examples can include:

  • Going from paper to digital documents
  • Going from tapes to hard disc drives:
  • Going from a data center to cloud
• Database migration:

  This is often needed when an organization is upgrading a a database management system where your data is already stored or switching to a new database from a different provider. Different databases can resolve problems with performance and lead to lower energy bills.

• Application migration between platforms:

  This can happen when a company goes to a new software provider, for example a hospital replacing an electronic health record system, or a business replacing their billing system.

• Data center migrations between locations:

  This can happen when data is migrated from one data center — the physical location data is housed in on-site — to a different one, if the physical mainframes and wires data is stored on are being replaced, or if an enterprise is moving to cloud.

• Business process migration:

  These are needed during mergers, if a business is restructuring its operations, or when a business is entering a different competitive field. These will involve the transfer of data about customers, services, and taxes.

• Cloud migration, from on-premises storage to cloud or cloud to cloud:

  This encompasses any of the above examples where data is being transported to a cloud environment. Experts predict that by 2025 over 100 zettabytes of data, about half of the data expected to exist.

The 7 Steps of Data Migration in Atlanta, GA

A lot goes into data migration, but generally the process can be broken down into 7 essential steps carried out by an IT service in Atlanta, GA:

1. Analyze the data: It's important to understand the current location and form of the data in order to know how to transform and transfer. During this stage, we'll work to ascertain potential risks, how we'll respond to them and other security issues, and spot problems with data integrity.
2. Create a game plan for the data migration: Having a good idea of the scope of the project allows for creating a practical deadline. Additionally, this will allow us to plan the migration in a way that minimally interferes with your normal operations.
3. Backup the data: Like any technical process, things can go wrong in data migration. Backing up your data protects you from any corrupt data, or the if unexpected happens (for example a power outage), we'll be able to return your data to its original state and complete the data migration successfully.
4. Asses exactly how to carry out the migration: Depending on your data's current state,, we'll find the best tool to finally carry out the procedure. At HITS, we utilize a variety of different tools to get the best outcome in your project.
5. Perform the data migration: Once the plan is in place, the data is backed up, and you've chosen the right tool, the time has come to actually migrate the data. We'll ensure all the required permissions are applied and follow a exhaustive checklist during the migration. Early on, we'll know if our initial timeline is correct and if everything is functioning correctly. If there are any problems, we'll take immediate action.
6. Testing the final system: Make sure there are no connectivity problems, and all the data arrived at the right locations in the right format. To authenticate this, we'll carry out unit, web-based application, and batch application tests.
7. Follow-up and maintenance: Even if the process was adequately tested at various stages, errors can still occur. We'll carry out an exhaustive audit of the process and its results and ensure the status of the final data. If there are errors, for example corrupt data, we can correct the issue using the backup files.
