How it works
Real-time, byte-level replication
OpenText Migrate uses real-time, byte-level replication to duplicate your source system to the target. The replication maximizes bandwidth efficiency by sending small chunks of data, incorporating multiple levels of compression and enabling bandwidth throttling. Plus, AES 256-bit encryption keeps your data secure.
Easy and quick cutover
Cutover downtime is limited to seconds or minutes. If you need to revert to the original system, that execution is straightforward. What’s more, the cutover process is repeatable and predictable however you choose to manage it - through the unified console, automated scripting or third-party tools.
Non-disruptive testing
Test cutovers can be performed anytime without impacting production systems and business operations. End users can continue working on the source system until the final cutover.

Migrate FAQs
What is cloud migration?
What is cloud migration?
Cloud migration is the process of moving applications, workloads or data to a cloud environment. A common business strategy is to migrate applications from an on-premise environment to a virtual machine within the cloud for greater efficiency and cost reduction. This type of migration is referred to as rehosting or “lift and shift,” as it typically does not involve making significant changes to applications, workloads or data.
What is cloud migration automation?
What is cloud migration automation?
Cloud migration automation enables businesses to easily migrate physical, virtual and cloud workloads to the cloud. By automating the migration process, businesses can orchestrate every stage of the process to increase the migration speed, minimize downtime and reduce risk as they cut over to the new environment.
What are common cloud migration challenges?
What are common cloud migration challenges?
The potential for downtime and data loss prevents many organizations from undertaking data migration. Moving data and workloads can be painful, but it’s often unavoidable. In spite of the many benefits of moving to the cloud, many organizations often avoid making the necessary change due to the following reasons:
- Time and money investment in IT resources
- Complexity of the project
- Associated downtime
- Risk of data loss or corruption
- Application performance issues
But there is good news. Those challenges can be mitigated and even resolved with the right migration tool, planning and processes.
Why do businesses migrate to the cloud?
Why do businesses migrate to the cloud?
Public cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are technology innovations that help businesses lower expenditures and stretch resources further with less infrastructure. But if businesses can’t migrate efficiently, it limits their ability to leverage new technology platforms and increases their risk of getting locked into a platform. That’s risky. For example, what happens when the vendor sunsets the platform? Then there’s no choice but to migrate or continue to run on an unsupported legacy platform. In addition, migrations are often necessary due to mergers or relocations, moving to the cloud, as well as hardware, software and application upgrades.
