These advancements dramatically reduce code conversion times while continuing to deliver over 95% accuracy, helping you tackle large migration jobs with greater efficiency.
3. Data, metadata and permissions migration
Historically, BigQuery Migration Services have supported large-scale data migrations from Teradata and Amazon Redshift. Today, BigQuery Migration Services support incremental updates from Teradata, batch and incremental file and permission migrations from Cloudera, and batch and incremental data migration from Snowflake, all in preview. All migrated data is automatically validated as part of the migration process.
4.Intelligent end-to-end validation
Each step of the migration process will soon include an intelligent validation mechanism that can incorporate schema and data-type updates, vs. static data checksum comparisons that exist today. You can combine validation with source lineage, making it easy to quickly identify discrepancies between source and target environments. This comprehensive code, data, and dependency validation helps ensure your business applications stay intact as you incrementally move them.
Together, these investments in each of the four stages of a data platform migration help automate your journey while containing risk, providing deterministic outcomes, and faster ROI.
Customer successes
Customers trust BigQuery Migration Services for migrating their mission-critical workloads. BigQuery Migration Services usage has grown 3x year over year, with thousands of customers using the services to migrate workloads to BigQuery.
“By migrating from Databricks to BigQuery and combining our own models with the models provided by Google Cloud, we’ve improved the performance and efficiency of our machine learning processes and better positioned ourselves for ongoing growth.” – Hamdi Amroun, Head of AI, Yassir
“BigQuery has unlocked unprecedented scalability and flexibility for VMO2, improving data platform availability and uptime, which ultimately enhances customer experience. By moving all key functions to Google Cloud, VMO2 has reduced its TCO for equivalent on-premises platforms by approximately 30%.” – Vinay Pai, Head of Data Architecture, Virgin Media O2
