A Unified and Scalable Data Migration Service for the Cloud Environments

Data migration is one of the key operations in many enterprise data integration projects. While there are standard and well established tools for data migration, the enterprises recent move towards cloud environments present increasing challenges with respect to scalability, availability and data model heterogeneities. In this demo paper, we present a scalable data migration service that employs automated schema matching techniques to handle the schema disparities in cloud and enterprise data models. The proposed system also uses elastic grid infrastructure for on-demand data access, rules driven transformation and on-the-fly integration of distributed data sources for migration. We bring out key research challenges in building such a system and present viable solutions for addressing the same. The demo is likely to be useful for the academicians in getting insights on newer challenges in this field and the practitioners can benefit from understanding new offerings in this space
