Overview
Migrate your data to cloud easily and securely with AWS Database Migration Service.
Database migration is a complex and time-consuming process, and particularly so when recoding and converting data for new typse of databases are involved. As it often requires database to be down for weeks, database migration can impact your operations, and hit your brand and bottom line.
With TCS’ AWS Database Migration Service (DMS), you can make database migration faster, simpler and cost-effective.
Solution
Thought data migration means database downtime? Think again.
TCS’ AWS DMS makes it easy to migrate your data to cloud—whether it’s data warehouses, relational databases, nonrelational (NoSQL) databases or other types of data stores. You can easily and securely migrate or replicate data warehouses and databases such as Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, and MariaDB to AWS. All this while your source database remains fully operational, minimizing downtime to applications that rely on the database.
You can choose bespoke lift-and-shift, move-to-managed, or migrate-and-modernize paths to AWS Cloud. You can also opt for a suitable data platform on AWS that supports data types like relational data, key-value database, documents, in-memory, graph, time-series, and ledgers.
Leveraging tools like AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT), the solution makes even heterogeneous database migrations—where the source and target databases engines are different—seamless. SCT first converts the source schema and code to match those of the target database.
We also leverage proprietary TCS solutions such as TCS MasterCraft™ TransformPlusR that enables data discovery, target build, migration to a data warehouse, legacy data modernization, and ERP to ERP data migration. The accelerator helps in the transformation of data by capturing required meta information, enabling source to destination targets, and generating data extraction and migrating codes as well as migration-related reports.
Benefits
From agility and scalability to lower costs, realizing value from cloud is easy with TCS’ AWS DMS.
