Solution snapshot

  • Migrate workloads seamlessly across any physical, virtual, or cloud platforms.

  • Replicate data continuously with zero impact on network performance.

  • Perform non-disruptive testing anytime without impacting live production.

  • Encrypt all data in transit using industry-standard AES 256-bit security.

  • Automate multi-tier migrations to eliminate human error and complexity.

Why data migration matters

Whether it's a cloud migration, a system upgrade, or a merger, data migrations are inevitable and often painful. The risk of downtime, data loss, and broken applications keeps IT teams up at night.

Because of this, a lot of businesses delay necessary upgrades that keep them stuck with outdated systems that are expensive to maintain and hard to scale.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 data migration software. It moves entire operating systems, including files, applications, custom configurations, and user permissions, across any combination of cloud, virtual, or physical environments. Its continuous, byte-level replication ensures minimal data loss while intelligent orchestration tools streamline even the most complex enterprise cutovers.

  • Cutovers happen in minutes with zero impact on active end users.

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

  • Eliminate human error with structured, highly repeatable workflows.

  • End-to-end AES 256-bit encryption safeguards your data in transit.

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

Advanced migration capabilities for your planned moves

To act as an effective, all-in-one server migration software, OpenText Migrate includes advanced tools that take the risk out of infrastructure changes.

  • Continuous, byte-level replication across any physical distance.

  • Out-of-the-box support for physical, virtual, and public/private cloud target servers.

  • Built-in bandwidth throttling and multiple levels of compression.

  • Non-disruptive validation and cutover testing.

  • Orchestration for multi-tier application cutovers.

  • Quick cutovers in seconds or minutes with rapid rollback options if needed.

How OpenText Migrate works

  • Scan and deploy

    It starts by scanning your source environment and deploying lightweight, non-disruptive agents to specified systems. It then immediately replicates those systems in real time to your target environment, and ensures all files, configurations, and deep permissions stay continuously in sync. 

  • Test and validate

    Our server migration software supports rigorous testing and validation without interrupting live business operations. When you’re ready to switch, an automated cutover shifts active users to the new environment in minutes. If any issues arise, reverting to the source system is incredibly fast and simple. This reliable, repeatable process scales smoothly from a single server to thousands.

FAQ

Our data migration software is highly versatile, supporting any-to-any migrations between physical, virtual (VMware, Hyper-V), and public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).

By utilizing real-time, byte-level replication, we facilitate a near zero downtime migration. Your systems remain fully active during data transfer, and the final cutover window is limited to the mere seconds or minutes it takes to reboot onto the target environment.

Yes. It is an ideal IT migration solution for a system upgrade as well. It is capable of moving complex, data-heavy systems (including SQL databases and CRM applications) with continuous synchronization.

If a cutover runs into issues, our server migration software offers fast, automated rollback options that restore operations to your original source system immediately without any data loss.

It is built to scale seamlessly. OpenText Migrate is lightweight enough to serve as an efficient cloud migration tool for small business setups, yet robust and scriptable enough to handle large-scale enterprise migrations involving thousands of servers across multiple data centers.

While this software automates and orchestrates the technical heavy lifting, we also partner with expert IT professionals to offer managed migration services for businesses looking for hands-off execution.
