Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving a migration request to migrate a source application stored at a source endpoint, the source application comprising a plurality of related data volumes having a first data format, wherein the migration request comprises: in response to receiving the migration request, determining whether a data translation is required by comparing the first architecture type with the second architecture type; in response to determining that the data translation is required, determining a first particular transform mechanism from a plurality of transform mechanisms based on the second architecture type; determining a set of user content volumes and a set of application specific volumes within the plurality of related data volumes at the source endpoint; translating the first data format of the set of user content volumes into a second data format corresponding to the second architecture type using the first particular transform mechanism; instantiating, at the destination endpoint, a destination appliance class equivalent to the source application to create a new set of application specific volumes in the second data format; and storing the translated set of user content volumes at the destination endpoint.
