High Availability Tenant-to-Tenant Migrations: Crossing Your Fingers Isn’t Enough

Anyone who’s ever done a tenant migration knows there’s a lot to it. Even with the best preparation, you never know what’s going to come your way. That’s why one of the most critical aspects to your success is having a high availability tenant-to-tenant migration solution. Crossing your fingers? Not so much!

This is especially critical with mergers, acquisitions and divestures being so prevalent. In fact, according to a January 2022 report from Deloitte (The Future of M&A, 2022 M&A Trends Survey), 92 percent of study respondents expect to see more M&A activity this year, so your next tenant migration could be closer than you think.

To be sure you’re ready, get expert advice about what you should look for in a tenant-to-tenant solution – beyond the capability to move all of your workloads and the easy to use interface. Key factors include:

• Availability: Outages happen. Some solutions have capabilities built into them to avoid catastrophic impact on your migrations while others don’t. What can you do to mitigate the risk of an outage derailing your tenant migration?

• Security: Ensuring the security of the workloads you’re migrating is as important as any other factor in your plan. Depending on your industry, your security requirements might be even greater. How do you know you’re secure enough?

• Support: Stating the obvious, but you need it when you need it. And you need to know it has the expertise to help you achieve your goals on your timeline. Is your vendor’s Support strong enough to meet your needs?
