There exist various types of databases tailored for different purposes, ranging from standalone solutions like Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL Server to cloud-based options such as Cassandra, MongoDB, Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, Google SQL, Azure SQL Database, and Oracle Database. The smooth operation and performance of these databases are pivotal for many business functions, making their maintenance a critical aspect of ensuring business success.
However, IT infrastructures across companies vary significantly, encompassing diverse hardware and software versions. Businesses typically construct their systems based on available skills, resources, and technological advancements at the time. As technology evolves, the need to assess and update existing infrastructures becomes inevitable. This task is commonplace for IT outsourcing companies, and IT-Provider.com possesses extensive experience in tackling such challenges.
There are instances where an outdated database version, such as Microsoft SQL Server 2012, must be upgraded to facilitate integration with modern technology and tools. In other cases, project requirements necessitate the adoption of cloud-based databases like Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, or Azure SQL Database, posing a challenge for teams lacking relevant experience. Additionally, specific system components and workflows may demand the use of specialized databases like Oracle Database, complicating daily operations.
In such scenarios, a reliable IT outsourcing provider like IT-Provider.com becomes indispensable. Leveraging expertise gained from numerous successful projects, we conduct comprehensive audits of existing cloud infrastructures and database servers to identify and address performance bottlenecks. Furthermore, we design, implement, and configure data migration processes to ensure the timely and successful completion of your projects.
If you determine that migrating your database to the cloud is the optimal solution, IT-Provider.com offers the following method:
For instance, migrating to Amazon RDS or Amazon Aurora entails several additional steps outlined in the official AWS documentation. Similarly, Google SQL, Azure SQL Server, Oracle Database, and other proprietary database platforms have their own specific procedures documented for migration purposes.
Database administration, maintenance, and consulting continue beyond the migration phase. Even after transferring all data to the target database, ongoing management is essential for optimal performance. Your software engineers may lack the expertise to efficiently handle the new infrastructure, and initial database performance might not meet expectations without precise configuration.
However, finding skilled Database Administrators (DBAs) can be challenging and costly. Hiring a full-time DBA entails recruitment expenses, adaptation periods, and the risk of talent turnover. Additionally, relying on vendor-specific assistance, such as from Amazon RDS or Azure SQL Server staff, may ensure top performance but can result in vendor lock-in, complicating future platform transitions.
Alternatively, partnering with a Managed Service Provider like IT-Provider.com offers a more efficient database migration strategy. We provide experienced DBAs proficient in database migration, equipped with comprehensive knowledge of schema and operational methods across various databases.

Database Migration Strategy and Roadmap
If you determine that migrating your database to the cloud is the optimal solution, IT-Provider.com offers the following method:
- Infrastructure Audit and Analysis: We conduct a thorough assessment of your current IT infrastructure and processes to identify areas for improvement and potential bottlenecks. Consulting with key stakeholders and reviewing available documentation, we design a more resilient, scalable, and manageable infrastructure tailored to your needs.
- Implementation of Improvements: After compiling a list of potential enhancements and proposing solutions for existing bottlenecks, we proceed to implement these improvements. This may involve optimizing the existing infrastructure or building a new one from scratch, either on your on-premises servers or in a public/private/hybrid cloud environment of your choice.
- Configuration of New Database Instance: A new database instance is configured on the updated infrastructure, and incoming data traffic is replicated to it to ensure seamless transition.
- Database Dump and Compatibility Assessment: A snapshot of the existing database, known as a "database dump," is created. If upgrading to a newer version of the database, compatibility is typically high, with many vendors offering automated update procedures. However, if migrating to a different database, scripts may need to be composed to transfer incompatible data, or manual migration may be required.
- Data Migration and Switching Over: Once all existing data is successfully transferred to the target database, the source database is deactivated, and all operations are conducted using the new database.
For instance, migrating to Amazon RDS or Amazon Aurora entails several additional steps outlined in the official AWS documentation. Similarly, Google SQL, Azure SQL Server, Oracle Database, and other proprietary database platforms have their own specific procedures documented for migration purposes.
