In the intricate landscape of migration planning, it is imperative to map processes and prioritize them according to their criticality. This implies a strategic process to determine the sequence in which processes should be migrated according to business.

In addition, organizations will have to define whether to follow a "lift and shift" approach or a "refactor" approach. The good news is that here we will help you choose which option is best for the scenario.

Migrating from a large Hadoop environment to Databricks is a complex and large project. In this blog we will dive into different areas of the migration process and the challenges that the customer should plan in these areas: Administration, Data Migration, Data Processing, Security and Governance, and Data Consumption (tools and processes)

Over the past 10 years of big data analytics and data lakes, Hadoop has proven unscalable, overly complex (both onPremise and cloud versions) and unable to deliver to the business for ease of consumption or meet their innovation aspirations.

Migrating from Hadoop to Databricks will help you scale effectively, simplify your data platform and accelerate innovation with support for analytics, machine learning and AI.
