Why migration matters

Whether it's a cloud migration, system upgrade, or merger, data migrations are inevitable, and often painful. The risk of downtime, data loss, and broken applications keeps IT teams up at night. For many, these risks delay necessary transformations, keeping businesses stuck on outdated systems that are expensive to maintain and hard to scale.

Manual migrations are time-consuming and prone to human error. And traditional data migration services often demand high costs, weeks of planning, and rigid infrastructure requirements.

    Benefits of OpenText Migrate

    OpenText Migrate is a scalable, automated migration platform designed to move entire systems, including files, applications, configurations, and permissions, across any combination of cloud, virtual, or physical environments. Its continuous byte-level replication ensures minimal data loss, while orchestration tools streamline even the most complex migration workflows. Whether you’re migrating workloads from legacy systems, switching cloud providers, or consolidating infrastructure after an M&A event, OpenText Migrate provides the flexibility, security, and speed to make it seamless.

    • Cutovers happen in minutes with no disruption to end users.

    • Move from physical to cloud, cloud to cloud, or legacy to modern systems.

    • Eliminate human error with structured, repeatable migration workflows.

    • End-to-end AES 256-bit encryption ensures confidentiality in transit.

    • Move freely between clouds, hypervisors, and storage platforms.

    • Cutover in seconds or minutes with rollback options

    How OpenText Migrate works

    • Scan and deploy

      OpenText Migrate begins by scanning your environment and deploying lightweight agents to systems in scope. It then replicates those systems in real time to the target environment whether cloud, virtual, or on-premises, ensuring all data, configurations, and permissions stay in sync.  

    • Test and validate

      The system supports testing and validation without interrupting production operations. When you're ready, an automated cutover shifts users to the new environment in minutes. If something goes wrong, reverting is fast and simple. This repeatable process makes migrations scalable, from one server to thousands.  

    What our customers say

    Leveraging Migrate, we reduced the number of our virtualization hosts by 20 percent and our overall power consumption by 25 percent. In addition, the platform consolidation saves over 50 percent on licensing costs.
