Initial data migration is an involved process requiring multiple rounds of confirmation. Here is a quick overview of what to expect.
Process
- Tamago-DB reviews data for import and confirms data migration viability. This typically takes one week.
-
Tamago-DB and client agree on rough timetable.
- Initial data migration. Generally one to three weeks depending on overall data complexity. Tamago-DB will endeavor to clean up redundant data discovered during migration on a best-effort basis.
- One to three rounds of data migration and confirmation.
- Client signs off on data quality after final confirmation.
- One month limited data massaging (if required) from data migration completion date.
Plan for at least one month from start to finish.
"Data massaging" is a process where, should gaps be discovered in the data after migration, Tamago-DB will carefully merge ("massage") data from from the original system into the new Tamago-DB instance without overwriting existing data.
Any additional updates to the data beyond the initial month long data massaging window are charged on hourly basis.
