Migration solution for companies wanting to migrate their database from on-premises data centers to the IBM Cloud
About IBM Lift
IBM Lift makes it easier to quickly, securely and reliably migrate your database from on-premises data centers to an IBM Cloud® data property. It is designed to enable secure and rapid migration to the cloud with zero downtime. Take your entire database to the IBM Cloud. It's a two-step process: convert your schema and migrate your data. To convert your schema, start by downloading the IBM Database Conversion Workbench. The workbench will walk you through the process of converting your source database DDL so that it is compatible with the target. The workbench will also produce a report that tells you where your action is required. Once your schema is in place, you'll use the Lift CLI to migrate your data.Start by generating a set of CSV files that represent your incremental changes, per database table. Use the Lift CLI to scoop up those delimited files, push them over the wire, and import the files into IBM® Db2® Warehouse on Cloud.

AWS Application Migration Service
AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) is a highly automated lift-and-shift solution designed to simplify, accelerate, and reduce the cost of migrating applications from on-premises environments, private clouds, or other public clouds into AWS. It works by continuously replicating source servers at the block level into an AWS account, preserving the exact configuration of applications, operating systems, and data. When organizations are ready to migrate, the service automatically converts these replicated servers into native AWS resources such as Amazon EC2 instances, enabling fast cutover with minimal downtime and no need to modify applications. It is built to handle large-scale migrations with high compatibility, allowing businesses to move many physical, virtual, or cloud-based servers without performance disruption or lengthy migration windows. It reduces manual effort by automating key processes such as replication, conversion, and launch, minimizing errors.
