Types of Data Migration in San Diego, CA

As data migration can happen for reasons, there are several different categories of data migration that San Diego, CA companies and corporations may need. Some of the data migration we assist our clients with include:

• Storage migration between physical storage units:

  • Moving information from paper to a computerized system
  • Going from hard disc drives to faster and more durable data storage:
  • Going from physical storage to cloud
• Database migration:

  This is often needed when an organization is updating a current database or moving your data to a completely new database. Moving to a new system or upgrading your current one can sort out performance issues and lead to lower energy bills.

• Application migration to new environments:

  Common examples of this are moving to a new software provider, for example a hospital upgrading to a better electronic health record system, or a business replacing their billing system.

• Data center migrations between mainframes:

  This is when data is transferred from one data center — the actual place data is kept in on-site — to another, if a company is investing in new hard drives and wires, or if an organization is moving to cloud.

• Business process migration:

  This is what you call data migration during acquisitions, if a business is restructuring its operations, or when a business is providing a brand new service. These will involve the transfer of data about people who have purchased their services before, products, and internal record keeping.

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

  This is another broad term that refers to many of the instances above where data is being transferred to a cloud environment. Experts predict that by 2025 companies shifting to cloud will cause over $1.3 trillion in IT spending in 2022.
