Client’s challenge
Initially, their solution was a desktop platform built with legacy technology. As their user number grew, they aimed to move it to the web and modernize its logic for enhanced usability and user experience. Moreover, they wanted to let end users automatically migrate data. Custom migration flows and easy process set-up were on the agenda for client’s data transformation software.
The bigger goal was to create a fully automated and secure tool that allows users to eliminate manual data migration. One that would let enterprises transfer their petabytes of data to modern cloud infrastructures quickly and safely.
With intricate technology on the project and lack of an in-house IT team, Interlock Technology needed a reliable data migration development company. NEKLO, having the right expertise, emerged as a perfect service provider, able to deliver the following tasks.

- Allow for secure data migration between storages
- Modernize legacy technology and functional logic
- Implement custom data migration scenarios
- Automate data migration process for end clients
- Make the data transformation platform more intuitive
- Transfer data migration back-end from Node.js to .NET
Solutions
We analyzed the existing system and suggested the optimal roadmap for transferring the client’s desktop data migration solution to the web, drastically extending its functionality to support a wide set of storage types and functional workflows. We helped them map the technology stack and document all the technical and functional requirements. The scope of engagement included:
Backend migration to .NET
We migrated the system backend to .NET, significantly enhancing its performance and scalability. This upgrade enables the client to provide more efficient and reliable data migrations for enterprise businesses.
Stable, fast and secure migration
The system can pause and resume migrations without any data loss. Unlike other solutions, our data storage software automatically saves progress and resumes migration upon failure, e.g. power outage. It maintains optimal performance without sacrificing speed.
One-time and ongoing migrations
We implemented 2 types of data migration. One-time migration lets the end customers migrate their old data to new formats. The ongoing one migrates it with a custom frequency setup, e.g. once a week/month, taking into account the current data changes and synching data between a source and a target.
Automated migration cycles
The database migration software now allows end clients to set up migration cycles by specifying key parameters. The cycle can run fully automated for even half a year.
Migration schedule
Users can see green and red time slots to determine optimal periods for data migration. The migration job runs at green slots and pauses when entering red ones. It then resumes automatically when the system experiences lower loads. This lets users perform information movement at the most suitable time, minimizing disruptions to ongoing business operations.
Data migration reporting and alerting
The engineer can view detailed stats on the migration process – the data volumes, the number of jobs and objects processed. In case of failed migrations, the tool provides a list of errors, so that the clients know exactly where to look at and how to resolve it. The alerting system notifies them of any event.
License management
The data storage platform now lets the users manage their balance and purchase more terabytes for data migration if needed.
