Mitigate the risks involved in migrating away from a proprietary database platform toward Maria DB’s open source database engine. This book will help you assess the risks and the work involved, and ensure a successful migration.
Migrating to Maria DB describes the process and lessons learned during a migration from a proprietary database management engine to the Maria DB open source solution. The book discusses the drivers for making the decision and change, walking you through all aspects of the process from evaluating the licensing, navigating the pitfalls and hurdles of a migration, through to final implementation on the new platform. The book highlights the cost-effectiveness of Maria DB and how the licensing worries are simplified in comparison to running on a proprietary platform.
You’ll learn to do your own risk assessment, to identify database and application code that may need to be modified or re-implemented, and to identify Maria DB features to provide the security and failover protection needed by corporate customers. Let the author’s experience in migrating a financial firm to Maria DB inform your own efforts, helping you to develop a road map for both technical and political success within your own organization as you migrate away from proprietary lock-in toward Maria DB’s open source solution.
