Reduce overall migration efforts and improve time to market for data modernization from legacy system to cloud

In legacy data analytics platforms, data sourced from enterprise applications, like those in finance, marketing, and logistics, were mostly confined to structured data. As data sources became varied, however, data volume increased multi-fold and need for velocity increased drastically. Data-platform modernization is now highly desired to get maximum insight from data produced all around the enterprise. But migration from a traditional, expensive data storage platform to a modern, real-time data analytics platform within a timely manner brings lot of challenges.

HCLTech’s ADvantage Migrate is a one-stop solution that helps enterprises modernize their entire data and analytics landscape. The solution assists in unified analytics and governance, amplified human output, and faster business outcomes by leveraging automation with the following pre-engineered products.
 
Gateway Suite: A web-based application deployed on AWS is designed to automatically scan source and target tables, transformation rules, and related metadata. It extracts logic from existing extract-transform-load (ETL) or data pipeline jobs, and catalogs the ETL jobs based on the associated source and target tables. It also does the conversion from legacy database scripts to modern data warehouses.
 
Sketch: A web-based, rapid-data, pipeline-development and deployment application runs on top of Apache Spark, deployed on AWS, accelerates data availability and accessibility. It provides different types of Sketch recipes to capture, curate, prepare, and distribute data with pre-built data-pipeline patterns covering around 80% data-pipeline requirements. It is based on configuration with a rich standard functional library to support most of scenarios.
 
Gatekeeper: A web-based application deployed on AWS for automated data testing. Achieve zero touch automated data reconciliation and continuous testing post-migration. Gatekeeper offers extensive coverage of testing scenarios.
 
ADvantage Migrate for Application Databases is a version of the solution catering to modernization of application databases. It addresses specific aspects of moving OLTP databases to the cloud, such as complex data dependencies, integrations with and dependencies on multiple systems, data migration strategies for lean downtimes or zero downtimes, and treatment of business logic in database code. Hence the pre-engineered products are also available tailored to these aspects: DBmGateway is a module of Gateway Suite for accelerating database conversion and Sketch Lite is a version of Sketch that runs on JVMs, more suited for migrating lower volumes of data that require simple data transformations or validations.
