What Is Data Migration?
To those that are based within the communication industry or have an understanding of networks, this may seem a little simple and basic for your skill-set. However, on our personal site, we get a lot of enquiries asking this exact question, so what better reason do I possibly need to write a post based around data migration, what it is and why it is so important to certain types of businesses.
To make things easier, let's break the service term down into two sections. This will make it easier to understand going forward for those of you that are not familiar with the terms. So let's take a look then - we "data" and "migration".
If you do a quick Google search for a definition of data, you will probably get something back that reads like this. "A series or facts or statistics that are collected for analysis or reference" - and that is exactly right.
Putting it bluntly, data is a collection of useful information that business owners store to help them with everyday tasks. Private data could include personal details of customers, business information, names, addresses, email addresses and more. It is incredibly important to keep delicate data such as this private and secure.
Now let's have a look at the other part - "migration". Now then, if we conducted the exact same search but replaced our term data with migration we would get a result back that is similar to this. Migration - "moving from one location to another" or "moving from one part of something to another".
The migration of data is simple. It's the transportation of data from one area to another, whether that be in the same building or a complete office relocation. Unfortunately, data cannot simply be transferred instantly. There are certain steps that need to be taken to ensure that no information is lost and it remains secure.
