Data Migration

Simply put, data migration is the process of transferring data between storage types, formats, or computer systems. This typically occurs when upgrading to a newer version of an existing application or switching from one application to an alternate one or merging data as the result of disparate applications coming together either through mergers and acquisitions or rationalising historical purchases.

Data migrations can involve large volumes of data and characteristically take place in heterogeneous environments, with very different source and target data structures. Often complex mappings and transformations are required, with aggregations, calculations, etc. Without fail there will almost certainly be ongoing data cleansing issues throughout the process as well.

Talend’s data integration solutions are optimized for enterprise-scale data migrations and are designed to navigate you through the key areas of design, development and execution of data migration processes: 

•  
  • Business-oriented process modeling ensuring consistency in the migration of business data and processes
  • Fully graphical development environment that improves productivity, makes it easy to perform iterative runs
  • Scalable and fast execution platform with a grid approach that enables the processing of data close to its source and target for shorter downtimes
  • Broad depth of connectivity to support all source and target systems
