The fundamental concept behind data transfer is to adjust the storage space; it can be moved from one server to another, or from one database to another, or to move data from one operating system to another. Businesses are following a simple procedure that involves three basic phases, (ETL) Extract/Transform/Load, irrespective of the data migration method.
