## Overview
In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, organizations frequently seek to optimize their operational efficiency and stay abreast of market trends by adopting new tools and solutions. However, transitioning between platforms often necessitates the migration of data – a process associated with challenges and risks.
This white paper elucidates the significance of data migration, explores associated risks, examines the drawbacks of manual migration, and introduces Kovair QuickSync as a comprehensive solution designed to streamline the data migration process.
## Purpose of Data Migration and Associated Risks
Organizations looking to extend their tool family or move to other preferred tool solutions to increase efficiency, stability, and stay up to date with market solutions, often find ‘data migration’ an essential but hefty and risky process. There are threats related to data security, data loss, and data inconsistency due to human error.
Items like monitoring migration status, maintaining data history, and continuous reporting on successful and failed migration counts often decrease productivity and increase the cost of the project. Moving data between heterogeneous tools from different vendors makes it a more technically complex process.
## Drawbacks of Manual Data Migration
The following points are the various drawbacks associated with manual method of data migration:
* The process of manual migration is inconvenient, as it is not error-free.
* The templates once used cannot be reused and are difficult to customize.
* Retention of history is not possible as well.
* In manual migration, migrating large projects and supporting external links, attachments, and comments are difficult.
## Why Use Data Migration Tools?
For any data migration project, leveraging automation is the first step to gain success. Data migration tools usage can reduce manual intervention and accelerate your capability to move data with control and confidence.
However, choosing just any tool in the market may not meet your overall data migration objectives and the process efficiency you expect from it. An intuitive interface with easy adaptation is a must.
* Automated migration offers error-proof, convenient, risk-free data duplication and easy migration.
* It can easily migrate test entities, such as test plans, run, suits, and results.
* Mapping of multiple-to-one is possible in this process.
* This process has advantages over all the points covered in the challenges in manual data migration.
## What is Kovair QuickSync?
Keeping in mind the essential objectives and challenges of data migration, Kovair has come up with a one-stop solution for secured, cost-effective, wide-range data migration known as Kovair QuickSync.
It is a Windows-based desktop solution, which can be easily installed and used. It requires minimum infrastructure and is applicable for any enterprise across industries. It is adaptable with an intuitive user interface (UI) and has the flexibility to migrate data from a single source to a single target.
## Key Features of Kovair QuickSync
The following points are the key features of this data migration solution:
1. **Easy to configure and use:** Codelessconfiguration for mapping with an intuitive UI. Easy tool installation and quick initial setup make it a cost-effective tool. It can be installed on the existing server and does not require investment in intensive training.
2. **Single window monitoring:** It has a single-window interface for monitoring migration. Users can view the entire work in progress from a single interface, conducting the migration process with a few mouse clicks.
3. **In-built data checker:** It reduces manual effort of data validation during migration, monitors migrated data and migration status, thus automatically reducing the overall migration cost.
4. **Supports migration from one or multiple hosts:** In large organizations, migration of multiple projects with high data volume is often required. Kovair QuickSync offers the option for a single host or multiple hosts environment depending on the data volume to be migrated, accelerating the overall process.
5. **Supports multiple databases:** It gives the choice to select a database based on the volume of data to be migrated. You can select from SQL Lite, MySQL or MS SQL Server and Oracle depending on the volume of data migration.
6. **Supports migration of data and links:** Kovair QuickSync migrates traceability links existing between the migrated artifacts. Kovair QuickSync also supports cross-tool traceability.
7. **Supports migration for rich data**: Kovair QuickSync gives extended support for rich text data (if supported by the target tool) in terms of system and custom attributes. For each of the exposed entities, comments, attachments, and audit logs of individual records are included as well.
8. **Supports validation reports post-transfer:** It provides validation reports after the migration process, which not only helps to get a sanity check, but also confirms an all-inclusive migration along with calculated defects and rectifications.
9. **High data fidelity:** Error rate of <0.01% with overall migration of more than 13 million records, based on Kovair’s performance data experience to date.
10. **Zero downtime**: Migrates successfully without any downtime of source and target tools. Supports synchronization of data post-migration to facilitate phase-wise roll-out.
11. **Robust reconciliation:** For any kind of failure or connectivity problem, re-initiate migration from the point where it was left along with the re-execution of error items.
12. **Transformation:** Supports transformation and overriding of data during migration. Data can be transformed from the source tool to any desired format before pushing it to the target tool using different custom expressions.
13. **Supports conditional data fetch mechanism**: An efficient mechanism to select which data to migrate and which garbage data to leave behind using conditional flow.
14. **Reusable template-based migration:** For multiple projects that have the same template, it can be configured once and used multiple times, saving time and reducing project cost.
15. **‘Pay-as-you-go’ License model:** It does not need any prior investment as it has transaction-based licensing designed to support the ‘Pay-as-you-go’ model.
16. **Security:** In view of data security and compliance, our QuickSync Tool product prioritizes the protection of sensitive information. Here’s an overview:
    * **On-Premises Solution Compliance:** Being an on-premises solution, our tool adheres to the existing compliance applied within the client’s network, providing seamless integration with their security measures.
    * **User Credentials Encryption:** User credentials are securely stored using AES encryption, ensuring a robust layer of protection.
    * **Certified APIs:** We leverage certified APIs provided by tool vendors, ensuring data integrity and security during interactions.
    * **Restricted Data Portability:** Transaction data remains within the production environment, and we do not port it out to maintain confidentiality.
    * **Log Handling:** Our solution does not include a log shipping procedure. Generated logs are retained within the client network for enhanced security.
    * **Data Disposal:** Post-migration, we do not bring any data back. The tool is deployed on-premises, and data disposal is managed within the client’s network.
## Conclusion
Kovair QuickSync will help you avoid the burden of the entire migration effort. No matter how complex or technically different the source and target tools are, the data migration flows and maintains the data structure.
