Abstract Growing use of technology in trade and commerce, in industry and services and in every-day lives of modern man has led to the generation of stupendous volume of sensitive data which needs to be preserved so that relevant information can be retrieved as and when required. The rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) has also led to the use of apps on various platforms by both individuals and companies. All of these is made possible using data centers that harness the data. With the advent a increasing use of cloud computing to facilitate storage of massive data, data center migration (DCM) has started taking the center stage in data the process of data storage and management. This article generates useful insights into data center migration. DCM being complex process, employing best practices while migrating a data center will ensure maximum uptime and on-time completion along with avoiding data loss.

1. INTRODUCTIONInformation technology has become an inseparable part of commercial and industrial operations (Tannady, Andry, Gunawan, & Mayseleste, Enterprise Architecture Artifacts Enablers for IT Strategy and Business Alignment in Forwarding Services, 2020). It is employed for supporting not only the principal business processes but also to provide support to those business processes that exist within the concerned organization or company (Abadi, Haghighat, & Nasiri, 2020). The situation is similar from the perspective of an individual, with major day to day transactions such as banking, shopping and entertainment happening online. The consequent rapid generation of large volume of data and its consumption have resulted in the rising popularity of data centers across the world. In addition, the inclinations of modern citizens towards accessing services using the digital mode is speeding up the growth of data centers (Express Computer, 2023). But at the same time there has arisen the concern regarding data security. Beyond doubt information technology is stupendously importance but its importance cannot overshadow the importance of information security. This aspect is as important to ensure leakage of user secretsand important company information can be avoided and that data is stored securly in accordance with the aspects of information security objectives of the organization (Hakim, Augusta, Zainal, & Tannady, 2021). Migration of company data to a platform that is more modernized makes it possible for a firm to scale its operations more efficiently, maintain its competitiveness, bring down the security risks and most importantly, provide superior customer service that will ensure better relationships with the clientele. The objective of this article is to provide an insight into the best practices in data migration that can help provide direction to those companies that are actively contemplating or are about to embark upon data migration. Best practices refer to a set of procedures and techniques which helps an organization in turning out optimal results, enhance efficiency and streamline its processes (Indeed, 2022).
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
   • Understanding the Concept of Data CenterIn the simplest of its terms a data center refers to the physical facilities used by an organization to house those data and applications that they consider to be critical for them. The basis of design of a data center is a resource storage and computing network that makes it possible to deliver common applications and data. The major elements of a data center design comprise of switches, routers, application-delivery controllers, servers, storage systems and firewalls, (Cisco Systems, Inc., 2024). A data center, therefore, is a facility that can be employed for placing multiple servers sets, computer systems and systems for data storage that remained constrained by such factors as air control, power supply settings, fire prevention and remain endowed with physical security systems (Basu, 2016). Being a centralized repository, a data center helps in storage of data in both virtual and physical forms, facilitates data management, ensures timely and efficient distribution of data / information and aids placement of computer systems and associated paraphernalia, such as data communication systems (Sitorus & Tannady, 2021). Normally. a data center would possess 5 importantaspects of service, such as, Business Continuance Infrastructure, Data Center Security, Application Optimization, Storage Infrastructure and IP Infrastructure (Madyatmadja, Liliana, Andry, & Tannady, 2020).

     A data center is implemented for acting as the tool for the centralization of every available and accessible resource pertaining to information technology, in the shape of network operations, electronic business and for ensuring that services to assist data processing are available, uninterrupted. For any company, one of the most important things is effective data processing for presenting correct information at the correct moment. Timely and accurate presentation of relevant data and information are also important to ensure speed and accuracy of the decisions taken (Andry, Liliana, Tannady, & Arief, 2021). Data centers also play an important role in case of information technology services. For Cloud Service Providers or CSP the employment of data centers (DC) is essential to provide different kinds of services over the internet, for instance Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Software- as-a-service (SaaS), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) (Basu, 2016).

   • Data Center Migration

   The work migration means a physical movement people from their place of residence, locality or country to another. Likewise, DCM means the physical and / or logical relocation of IT services from one physical and / or virtual location to another (Cefaratti & Lin, 2018). It, therefore, refers to the procedure of transferring the present data center operations of an organization to another data center environment. This movement usually involves movement of data to another geographical location and happens through the transition of data to a cloud-based solution from an on-premises environment and may even be in the form of upgrading to new hardware or software platforms within the same facility (Aisosa, 2023). With respect to cloud computing, data migration refers to the entire process of movement of information, localhost application, and services to the allocated cloud computing infrastructure (Iqbal & Colomo- Palacios, 2019).

   Most commonly used approaches for DCM are

   1. Lift and Shift This involves Transferring as Is is the process of shifting applications and data to the new data center from the old one with zero or negligeable changes to the architecture (Aisosa, 2023). The organization usually lifts its complete data center and shifts it to a new- fangled location without any changes or changes that may be insignificant (Perry, What Is a Lift and Shift Cloud Migration?: NetApp BluePX, 2020). Needless to say, lift and shift strategy will often be much quicker to implement as there is no need for architecural alterations. Also known as rehosting, this strategy, therefore, is perfect for applications which are already well-optimized and do not require any kind of modifications for working efficiently in the novel environment (DC Gears, 2022)
   2. Re-platforming As the name suggests, this involves Platform Adjustments. This too involves moving applications to the cloud with minimal changes, but takes advantage of the benefits emanating from the cloud environment (Perry, 3 Cloud Migration Approaches and Their Pros and Cons: NetApp BlueXp, 2020). Themigration process will involve optimization of workloads or applications that, in turn, can unlock such capabilities as auto-scaling, elastic database infrastructure and infrastructure as code (Bougnague, 2023). Re-platforming also entails moving the applications to the new data center but with minor adjustments and little optimizations that ensures that the application is able to better utilize the capabilities of the new environment. This is where it is different from the simple lift and shift strategy and allows businesses to take advantage of certain new features without having to bear the costs of a full-scale redesigning of applications (Aisosa, 2023).
   3. Refactoring This involves Code and Architecture Revamp and involves developing applications that are particularly designed for the cloud thus making them best positioned to better exploit clouds full potential (BigCommerce, 2024). Refactoring strategy involves re- architecture of the organizations applications for enabling complete adaptation of the features of the novel data center. It necessarily involves taking apart the concerned organizations applications and assembling it back for so that it can be optimized for the new environment (Aisosa, 2023).
   4. Hybrid or Mixed Approach As is evident from the name, this approach involves the use of a combination of the previous 3 approaches, rehosting, replatforming, and refactoring, for various applications in the same project for DCM and in the process provides the flexibility of selecting the migration method that best suits the individual application (Aisosa, 2023).
      • Need for Data Center MigrationAs has been stated multiple times throughout the article, data centers form the backbone of contemporary businesses and provide such important services as processing and storing data, as also network capabilities. Nevertheless at times it becomes important for companies, almost indispensable, to migrate their data centers because of various factors, for instance, enlargement of operations, capacity enhancement, necessity to meet compliance standards and obligations, cost- efficiency and the need to enhance performance (Aisosa, 2023) .A number of factors can drive the need for migration of data center, to cloud, that can be broadly categorized as transformation and consolidation. Despite still comprising a comparatively modest part of corporate IT, cloud continues to grow and expand at a staggering rate. The growth is boosted by novel applications that have been designed specifically for the cloud. The other important factor boosting growth is the transfer of the prevailing systems by modern businesses to the cloud to ensure enhancement of agility and cost-effectiveness. With a larger number of companies looking to migrate, it is becoming increasingly crucial to seek guidance from large and important cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure AWS, and Google Cloud (Ayuya, Data Center Migration Best Practices: TechRepublic, 2023).

        Transformation is necessary for any organization which, hitherto, has employed infrastructure that is present within its premises and now wants to upgrade to a cloud-based or hybrid infrastructure. This would entail a significant changeover of an

        organization and the execution of this upgradation will necessitate a migration from all 3 perspectives software, hardware, and application. Another major reason why organizations may need DCM is shifting locations of their data center, such as switching of offices or movement to a different facility (Roundy, 2023). This entails transformation.

        The need for consolidation, on the other hand, arises for entities which have merged with another or which have incongruent data center systems and want to secure and streamline operations. This will, generally, involve shifting part of the assets from a number of data centers into a single data center, for instance. In this case, the organization is required to detect and eliminate redundancies that will bring down and consolidate huge extension of data into a data center environment that will be leaner with higher manageability (Roundy, 2023).

      • Problems of Data Center MigrationFunding DCM could be challenging. An upfront investment may be necessary for the migration whereas organizations are able to realize savings over the long run. The benefits of improved security and efficiency as a result of an updated and fully optimized system is also realized over the long run (Roundy, 2023). The most common of the challenges faced during DCM relates to infrastructure and usually is the result of lack of planning for the complete data center infrastructure and will include operating systems, hardware, applications, networking equipment and protocols pertaining to security (Partida, 2023).Organizations which migrate from one site to another one will also get an opportunity to optimize systems. Of the biggest hurdles, the most important is the migration of a data center in terms of scale and complexity at the time of comprehending the ways in which the new systems are supposed to work in cohesion and cooperation. It is essential to keep a plan prepared in order to ensure a successful data center migration, and utilize a migration for need analysis, an assessment of the needs of the data center (Roundy, 2023).

        A big issue in DCM is the loss of data, sometimes even perennial. Even if the transition goes smoothly there is no guarantee that all the data will be secure and nothing is lost in transit. There is also a downtime during which business operations may be disrupted. Though usually factored in, unplanned downtime may still occur if something goes wrong in the migration process (Partida, 2023).

        Besides the costs the timeframe of movement can also act as a deterrent. DCM can not only be a costly affair but also a process that is intense and time-consuming, irrespective of whether the organization is transitioning from one data center environment to another one or is relocating its assets to the cloud (Roundy, 2023). This makes it essential for the organizations to follow the best practices in order to ensure that the company is able to maintain uptime and can successfully handle security risk and compliance issues.

        1. Strategies For Seamless MigrationSteering through data center migration intricacies could be intimidating. Minimizing downtime, ensuring connectivity, handling stakeholder expectations are just few of the aspects. Each and every aspect of the migration plan is crucial. Modern dynamic ICT world where functionality and speed of data transfer are of supreme importance, the success of DCMdepends heavily on its meticulous planning and execution (Avigdor Book, 2024).

3. PLANNING AND EXECUTIONA comprehensive DCM plan acts as the blueprint for success. IT teams needs to collaborate with executive leadership to start working on developing an unambiguous plan (Ayuya, Data Center Migration Best Practices: TechRepublic, 2023). A smooth transition without causing any major operational disruptions to the business demands appropriate planning and execution. are critical in ensuring (Aisosa, 2023). It is necessary to adopt a strategy best suited to the business needs, be t a full-sized migration to a novel data center, a migration to cloud services, or a hybrid approach. Alongside striving for an effective DCM , it is also necessary to contingency plans and redundancy measures in place. These are safety nets against probable perils and disasters. Robust disaster recovery plans is necessary which must be tested rigorously. A carefully planned data center migration checklist is the initial resistance against unforeseen challenges (Avigdor Book, 2024).Timely comprehension of and decision regarding certain crucial elements can differentiate a successful migration from the one riddled with challenges. Lift and shift strategy, owing to its simplicity, emerges as a seamless process which is both an affordable and a profitable strategy for every business (DC Gears, 2022). Organizations pursuing this strategy must scout for the finest product offerings and migration services pertaining to the cloud platform they inten to migrate to (Bougnague, 2023). Replatforming having the potential to alter IT workloads, decision-makers need to consider every impact that the migration process will have not only on systems but also on personnel and also while developing strategies that go beyond rehosting migration (Bougnague, 2023).

   Involving stakeholders in the process is crucial. Everyone, from project manager to the users, must align their expectations with the broader migration strategy. The collaboration fosters a sense of ownership thus helping to validate and secure the new setups network. Systematic updates and clear communication help to turn probable resistance into enthusiastic buy-in. Appropriate migration tools differentiate smooth transition from a logistical nightmare. Solutions that support zero trust are better compared to micro-segmentation since they provide granular control over the organizations network security. Also, tools facilitating application migration and validating data transfer can save from of data loss and unplanned outage hassles (Avigdor Book, 2024).

   The strategy adopted could be cutover or staged. Cutover strategies would involve complete migration over a weekend when no one is working on the systems and getting the entire set up ready for the users before the next working day or hours. Staged strategies, on the other hand, provide migration options with higher flexibility (Microsoft, 2023). There is active communication with the users and domain registrars to ensure that everybody understands what is going on and there are no unnecessary complications. Every step will have some cost involved and a clear definition and description of cost

   heads and components is essentials to avoid cost overruns and wastage of resources.

4. TESTING

The post-migration review phase helps to optimize the new environment, consolidate gains, and address shortcomings if any. It also provides the opportunity to refine the migration approach while solidifying the data center infrastructure for impending growth (Avigdor Book, 2024). Following migration, IT teams must concentrate on continuous optimization including growing automation, improving observability tools and operations adjustment aimed at leverage complete potential of the new data center or cloud infrastructure. Post migration regular assessments are crucial for ensuring that the migrated systems deliver the anticipated performance and advantages. Optimization efforts generally take in performance modification, cost management and security enhancements (Ayuya, Data Center Migration Best Practices: TechRepublic, 2023).

1. Data Center Migration Best PracticesBest practices refer to the standards or a collection of guidelines which, if followed, are acknowledged to turn out good results. Experts from a large array of discipline including management, healthcare and medicine, law and ICT (information and communication technology), generally concentrate on the ways in which performance can be improve through the identification and compilation of best practices (Wu, Liu, & Bretschneider, 2023). The objective of the best practices is to make the job easy for the practitioners without compromising on the quality and hence they are designed in a manner so as to help reduce the complexity, remain engaged in the task, bring the downtime to a minimum and provide maximum connectivity during the whole process of transition (Roundy, 2023).
   1. • Taking a comprehensive inventory of assets

   For the development of a strategy for migration of data center, it is essential to understand the organizations present environment, as well as the one to which it will be transacting (Roundy, 2023). In order to obtain such a comprehensive understanding, an organization must take a detailed inventory of its assets, which includes, but is not limited to:

   1. Every data that has been stored, take account of every form of data – raw or processed, structured or unstructured, crucial or trivial, sensitive and confidential or public.
   2. A comprehensive list of every hardware and software being used by the organization
   3. The complete detail of workloads and users.
   4. Each and every application the organization uses,
   5. Data architecture and data infrastructure,
   6. Network maps,
   7. Interdependencies and configurations.
   8. Every aspect pertaining to data security including security environment and perimeter, including endpoints and peripheral data devices (Ayuya, 4 Data Center Migration Best Practices: Tech Republic, 2023)
      • Charting out a migration planOnce the assets have been identified, the construction of a well- defined and unambiguous DCM strategy is necessary, complete with a plan and phased timeline (Ayuya, 4 Data Center Migration Best Practices: Tech Republic, 2023). It is also important to maintain a dedicated project plan that will help to control the process complexity (Aisosa, 2023). While giving the migration managing team a better knowledge about when downtime is needed and when the users need to be notified ahead of time. It is also necessary for ensuring that the entire process stays compliant and does not exceed budget (Roundy, 2023).The project plan should clearly define the following:
2. The goals, objective and purposes of the migration, and the things that are migrating such as hardware, software, or applications.
3. The strategy taking in the present data environment as also the new one that the organization is moving to.
4. The resources requirement, counting the human, technological and financial capital.
5. There must also be a complete and written timeline that defines every action along with clear goals and benchmarks logged throughout the sequence.

1. • Planing the migration process for hardware, software, applications and the costThe next step is to note and prioritize the most crucial of the assets from the perspective of business-reliance. For instance, identification of applications and workloads that are must be up and running right at the beginning, things that need end of life or a transition, and the ways in which downtime can be minimized (Ayuya, Data Center Migration Best Practices: TechRepublic, 2023)Next comes the comprehensive understanding of the novel infrastructure or data environment, the new equipment needed by the organization for a superior and more optimal setup, the support it needs, such as power and cooling; and how the full stack looks in action, in terms of hardware, software and applications (Roundy, 2023). The migration path can then be mapped ou the for each asset. Whatever is essential to support the organizations most critical services will be transferred first. Whether everything can be moved over in chunks whether some applications need to be transferred in sequence is an important decision to be made. This mapping process can turn complex making things jumble, hence it is essential to exercise caution and remain careful when defining the path and time of transition of each asset (Aisosa, 2023).
   • Forming teams with clear delegation of responsibilities and resource provisionDefining the duties and responsibilities of the team members is equally important. It explains what every person will be in charge of moving. In case of a large-scale data center migration it will usually be a companywide effort and hence not just thetechnical team, the stakeholders from across the organization would need to be engaged (Pallais, 2023).

     Intermittent interactions and meetings will help understand the personnel and skill sets available to the organization. This will be followed by delegation of migration responsibilities and team formation to manage the process. Each team must be led by the owner or leader whose responsibility will be supervision and progress reporting (Roundy, 2023).

   • Developing a plan for Data backup and recoveryOwing to the complexity of the process of migration, DCM s are extremely sensitive to mistakes and run the risk of perennial data loss, the biggest of the risks of migration (Partida, 2023). Anything can go wrong while transitioning such as unexpected network issues, power outage caused by inclement weather, communication breakage in the data transfer line (Roundy, 2023). The rule is to expect the unexpected, and have a data backup and recovery plan ready (Avigdor Book, 2024). That will minimize critical data loss.Development of comprehensive data backup and recovery plan must follow strategic best practices and the 3-2-1 backup rule
   • Creation of 3 copies of the most critical data – the original data and minimum 2 backups.
   • Using 2 different storage types – an on-premises hardware and a cloud backup environment.
   • Shipping 1 copy of data to an off-site storage facility.Disaster recovery runbooks must also be automated as m uch as possible. to avoid downtime and ensure accurate data back up it is essential to factor in the endpoints and applications.
   • Prepare KPIs to measure during post-migration testing

Prior to commencing migration KPIs should be prepared not only for benchmarks but also for success criteria which makes it easy to assess the progress by comparing with major milestones. On completion the success criteria can be matched with the outcomes to identify any unmet objectives and address them (Roundy, 2023). Once an agreed-upon plan or DCM checklist is ready, all stakeholders must have a chance to review it to ensure that he plan clearly outlines everyone needs to do, the ways to do it and the timeline for the same. Any feedback can subsequently be addressed, and incorporated into the final plan which can then be distributed as the master document (Roundy, 2023).

KPI also ensure that the process is on track to meet the timeline. Real-time analytics can be set up for post-migration testing to evaluate against performance metrics. One completed it is necessary to confirm that everything that featured on the detailed inventory list has been migrated with the dependencies remaining intact, everything is running properly, and the stakeholders have been contacted to ensure to ensure that their needs are fulfilled in the new data center (Roundy, 2023).

CONCLUSION

A growing organization will eventually reach a point where it will need to migrate to a new environment because the prevailing data solutions turn inadequate to accommodate their needs. From increasing capacity for new application launch or

need to access wider range of connectivity options, one thing or the other will often trigger corporates to consider DCM . Rapid IT development in modern era has made IT indispensable for running a company’s business. The need is for technology that is both fast and reliable in the present era of globalization. With continuous evolution of the IT landscapes, the importance of execution of a seamless DCM is mounting. The triumph of the data migration process is conditioned by aspects such as planning and impact investigation of existing enterprise systems. A most common operation is transferring data stored locally in a public cloud computing environment. This paper lays down the need for and the consequences of adopting best practices for ensuring successful DCMs.

Of late, both demand for and occurrences of DCM have increased. Key success factors in a DCM include appropriate and meticulous planning, deliberation on procedures that minimize end-user impact including downtime, and active communication among team members and stakeholder pre, during and post DCM . DCMs are important from perspective of regulatory compliance and enterprise risk management. Complexity of DCM processes make them extremely sensitive to mistakes creating a lot of challenge for seamless transition. Organizations must be aware of the major generic problems in DCM to avoid cost overruns, delayed execution and potential data loss. Proper planning and best practices can prevent several of these issues and pitfalls.
