Data Migration

Abstract
Data  migration  is  one  of  the  key  operations  in many  enterprise data integration projects. Here software is purchased from one provider and has a direct relationship with the host. This makes migration to a new cloud provider easy, since one just needs to work with the software supplier to migrate to the new host and are not tied into one provider.
Data migration issue is not just about moving to another provider. Since some cloud providers have proprietary technology at times it may not support the solution that we want to stage before we put it live. That can create an interoperability problem. There are a lot of usage-based models at the moment, which doesn't suit everybody. There needs to be more variety and flexibility. Data security is also among cloud data migration challenges. Enterprises need to follow Security Policies to face such challenges.

Main Body
Article No. 4
Cloud computing is an emerging computing paradigm that was innovated to deploy cost effective solutions over Internet.  Companies  such  as  Google,  IBM,  Amazon, Yahoo and Intel have already started providing computing infrastructures  for  variety  of  data  processing  and  data storage  applications  on  a  pay-per-use  basis.
 System Description
The key components of this architecture include:
•    A distributed query processing engine
•    Business rules modeler
•    An automatic schema mapping and translation engine
•    A data migration engine

System Novelties
Some of the unique aspects of the proposed system are:
Auto Script generation for Mapping Data Elements to Cloud Entities
Microsoft Business connectors for interoperability between Commercial Databases.
On-Demand Bulk Data Transfer - The System can be hosted as an application on Microsoft Cloud Azure Platform and can be used to enable bulk data transfer on cloud.
Cloud Security is the major concern today hence detailed series of cloud security best strategic planning for partner evaluation, risk assessment and contractual negotiation are performed.
Disaster Recovery Programs -
Development of data backup routines that move the data out of the primary data center (and out of the control of the entity running that data center) and ensure that they are accessible in the event of a disaster. The   proposed   solution   facilitates   faster   migration service   and   quality   enrichment of the data, besides availing normal cloud benefits such as cost and elastic demand of resources.
