Database Migration with AWS DMS Services

Image
Among the many services provided by AWS (Amazon Web Service) is database migration (DMS or Database Migration Service) from on-premises servers to the cloud, data warehouses, relational databases, NoSQL databases, and between one cloud provider to another. The only condition for availing of AWS DMS services is that one of the sources or the target databases should be operating on the cloud as AWS DMS is a cloud-based platform. There are three types of database migration offered by AWS DMS services. ·         Full-load database migration: In this instance, both the source and the target databases are shut down and all the data at the source is migrated to the target database in one go. ·         On-going database migration: Here, the source and the target databases are kept in sync and once the full-load data migration is completed, ongoing changes and incremental data are migrated at pre-set intervals. ·   ...

Replicating Databases from the Oracle Database Management System

Image
The goal of database replication is to store data in several locations so that the running database can be accessed from any one of them. The reason why users prefer database replication is because it helps in recovering data in case of a failure or crash of the primary server as data replicated in secondary locations are automatically triggered and there is no disruption of work. Moreover, placing a backup of the data close to the user increases database performance by quickening speeds and reducing network loads. With Oracle being the main database management system for decades, Oracle replication plays a critical role in increasing the operational efficiencies of organizations since it facilitates data access through several sources like servers and sites.   There are many benefits that accrue to users from Oracle replication. The first is improved server performance as users can channel data read functions to a replica during the process of database replication. This en...

Optimizing Migration of Databases with Amazon DMS

Image
Regardless of whether it is from on-premises to the cloud or from one cloud provider to another, migration of databases is greatly optimized with Amazon DMS , the Data Migration Service of Amazon Web Service. You have the option to either choose one-time migration from the source to the target database or continually replicate data between the two. But for this to take place both the source and the target have to be kept in sync.   Amazon DMS enables migration between on-premises databases to the cloud, from one cloud provider to another, NoSQL databases, relational databases, and data warehouses. There are several benefits of migrating databases using Amazon DMS when compared to traditional databases. First, and most importantly, migration with Amazon DMS is quick and seamless as the software manages, tracks, and deploys, all the necessary infrastructure for migration once it is configured. In the methods of the past, additional applications and hardware had to be installed before...

Using ETL in AWS Database Migration

Image
The ETL tool in AWS is optimized for database migration between on-premises servers to the cloud, one cloud provider to another, relational databases, data warehouses, and NoSQL databases. For all these activities ETL in AWS is very effective and preferred by organizations to move databases even to remote locations. ETL is an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load and it has three stages. The data is first extracted from the source database, transformed to match the acceptable architecture of the target database, and finally loaded into the target intended database. There are several benefits of using ETL in AWS for database migration.  The most critical advantage of using ETL in AWS is that the migration process is initiated directly by the tool from the AWS Management Console. Hence, the need to install and configure additional drivers and applications does not arise. Further, while the migration is on, the source database remains fully functional. This is critical for busine...

Why Should You Use AWS DMS Services for Database Migration

Image
AWS DMS services ( Amazon Web Service Database Migration Service) are extensively used by organizations to migrate databases from on-premises servers to the cloud or from one cloud provider to another. The services are also highly optimized for the migration of NoSQL databases, relational databases, and data warehouses. Users can either continually move data from the source to the target databases including all changes being made at the source through the Change Data Capture feature or prefer one-time migration. To go through the first process both databases should always be in sync.   Now coming to the question – why should you use AWS DMS services for database migration? There are several cutting-edge benefits and reasons for doing so. First, migration with AWS DMS services is fast, seamless, and error-free. This is because not only is the migration process fully automated but the software also manages, tracks, and deploys, all the necessary infrastructure for migration a...

The Optimized Usage of the ETL AWS

Image
If you are looking to migrate databases from on-premises systems to the cloud or from one cloud provider to another there cannot be a better method than using AWS ETL. It is a tool that functions on the Amazon Web Service (AWS), a platform that is based on the cloud with unlimited storage capabilities, high computing powers, and maximized content delivery. The AWS ETL tool also facilitates migration between relational databases, data warehouses, and NoSQL databases. What is the ETL in ETL AWS? It is short for Extract, Transform, and Load and helps to combine multiple databases or data warehouses into a single storage repository of data. The workflow of the ETL AWS is as follows. It extracts data from the source database from where data is to be migrated and then transforms the extracted data intoa format that matches the structure of the target database. Finally, this formatted data is loaded into the target intended database.  Here are some of the benefits that make ETL AWS the ...
