Types of Data Migration in Springfield, MO

Data migration is a broad term that encompasses many different specific processes in Springfield, MO. We are experts in a range of data migration processes:

• Storage migration between physical storage units:

  Organizations might necessitate this because they are going to new storage devices that are more modern or have more storage offer more flexibility. Examples can include:

  • Moving information from paper to a computerized system
  • Going from hard disc drives to solid-state drives:
  • Going from physical storage to cloud
• Database migration:

  This can include updating a current database management system or migrating the data to an entirely new system. Different databases can sort out problems with performance and reduce your storage subsystem's footprint.

• Application migration between platforms:

  Common examples of this are moving to a new software vendor, for example a hospital replacing an electronic health record system, or a business replacing their internal record keeping software.

• Data center migrations between mainframes:

  This can happen when data is transferred from one data center — the actual location data is stored in on-premises — to another, if a company is investing in new mainframes and wires, or if an enterprise is moving to cloud.

• Business process migration:

  This is what you call data migration during acquisitions, if a business is reorganizing its operations, or when a business is entering a different competitive field. These will involve the transfer of data about people who have purchased their services before, products, and operations.

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

  This is another comprehensive term that refers to many of the instances above where data is being transported to a cloud environment. One prediction stated that that by 2025 companies shifting to cloud will cause over $1.3 trillion in IT spending in 2022.
