Data migration using source classification and mapping

Abstract:

Embodiments include systems and methods for performing data migration using source database classification. Information about source databases can be received from a source system, including source hardware types and processor information for the source databases. Each of the source databases can be classified to one of a plurality of predetermined database sizes based on the received information. The source system can be interrogated to derive information about the source databases, such as a processor utilization per database. Characteristics of the classified database sizes can be adjusted based on the derived information and resource requirements at a target system for the classified source databases can be determined. A shape for the target databases can be generated based on the resource requirements, the shape including target databases of predetermined database sizes implemented by target hardware, where the target databases are configured to receive migration data from the source databases.
