Cutting Migration Time by 80% with Alchemize Zero Downtime

Migrate data up to 80% faster with Alchemize’s Zero Downtime feature.

Maxis recently helped a global automotive battery enterprise avoid lengthy system outages and significantly speed up the data migration process.

Our client was facing a daunting task… migrate years of data between cloud-based Oracle to DB2 databases. Initial full data loads and migrations, including post-migration validation and synchronization steps, were resource-intensive and time-consuming. For instance, just the initial migration runs typically took 20 hours to complete due to the volume of data, complexity of transformations, and need for thorough integrity checks.

We put our proprietary Zero Downtime technology to work for our client.

This strategy significantly reduced downtime and operational disruptions. As a result, subsequent go-lives and updates were streamlined to approximately 2 hours, representing an over 80% reduction in migration time.

The efficiency gain was particularly valuable during iterative testing phases and production cutovers, allowing for faster data migration and minimizing business impact.

In the broader context of large, enterprise cloud migrations, where full projects can span 12-24 months and individual data transfers may take days for massive datasets, this zero-downtime optimization exemplifies best practices for accelerating time-to-value while maintaining data accuracy.

Don’t settle for the old, slow way of migrating data. The Alchemize Zero Downtime feature speeds up migrations while avoiding costly production interruptions.
