Why Wouldn’t You Just Migrate All the Data Instead of Carving Out Portions?

One of the biggest decisions organizations make in their system migrations is whether to move all the data or carve out only what's necessary. Just moving everything may seem like an easier approach, but that comes with its own challenges. Here's why carving out portions of data often makes more sense.

 

a)     Remove unnecessary clutter

b)     Cost efficiency

c)      Improved performance

d)     Compliance and security

 

Remove unnecessary clutter

 

Companies amass a mountain of data over the years, most of which has probably become outdated or even irrelevant. Migrating all such data essentially means taking unnecessary baggage along with you, slowing down your new system. Take help from VisionSoft to remove unnecessary clutter.

 

Cost efficiency

 

The data you are trying to move directly determines how much time, resources, and money it will require. You lower the cost of storage and migration by focusing on only the data you actually want to save. Data Migration Audit and Governance is the same idea as packing to move; you shouldn't carry everything in your house.

 

Improved performance

 

Migrating all your data may actually impact the performance of your new system to the users who are migrating. Carving out important data keeps your new environment running without these unnecessary lags from high loads.

 

Compliance and security

The main threat to legal and security concerns would arise from the migration of unwanted or sensitive data. You could save the purged, not-required data from being exposed to any sort of breach or violation by migrating it into an archived, compliant storage. Data Carveouts & Archiving leave behind sensitive yet not required data in safe and compliant storage.
