What we do?
Data Migration using dbSHIFT is possible for all the industries which use IT infra.
We do the following procedures in Data Migration Systems
Pre Migration Analysis
Pre Migration Analysis is conducted as a workshop with key stake holders to define and agree upon goals and scope of migration. This compatibility study results can help the deciding authorities to go ahead with their decisions on database migrations. Further, we could continue with finalizing scope, the cost saving derivations, defining downtime windows and workarounds during the database conversion
Data Migration
In the Migration Phase, we ensure high-quality and optimal migration to validate acceptable production impact, we may run up to three full test migrations. The tests will help identify potential hotspots and issues, which will be mitigated proactively by tuning the migration process. Another important value of the test cycle is the ability to improve the speed of the migration process through adjustments such as the scaling of jobs up or down around peak times.
Production Cutover
Once the test cycle is completed, we implement migration services and execute the production migration within the agreed downtime window.
Our support team provides 72 hours live support after the database migration to assist our clients with issues like fault diagnosis. Our team supports our clients till they get used to the new system.
We cover the best products like
- Oracle Database 8i/9i
- Oracle Database 10g
- Oracle Database 11g
- Oracle Database 12c
The platforms covered are
- HP-UX PA RISC
- HP-UX Itanium
- Sun SPARC
- IBM Power Series
- Legacy x86
Edition Conversion
Databases Supported
- Oracle EE
- Oracle SE
- SQLServer EE
- SQLServer SE
Key Benefits
- Most of Legacy and Home-grown Applications available in the market use only basic database features. But we offer the advanced versions of it.
- We use Oracle standard edition for Database Migration
- Migration from Enterprise Edition to Standard Edition will reduce their license footprint and huge cost savings
- Only Database Vendor supported procedures for downgrading process will be used
- Development databases where high availability and scalability not required
- In Oracle, Many enterprise options like partitioning, data encryption, Management packs has to be purchased separately on top of Enterprise Edition License. But in Standard Edition it comes as a solid package.
- Anytime the database can be converted into Enterprise edition
- Conversion does not erase or corrupt any single data in the database
- Standard Edition conversion disables the Enterprise Edition options and features. It does not erase them

Note
- NOSQL databases are best fit for Non OLTP Applications
- These migrations can be used as a purging and archival strategy
- Data lakes can be used as Single Source of Truth within the enterpise
- Not all applications requires RDBMS features
- Scaleout Architecture works best with NOSQL databases
- NOSQL databases can handle large amount data with sharding
