The various enhanced features of the SharePoint services, WSS 3.0, and MOSS 2007 are important incentives for SharePoint 2003 users considering migrating to SharePoint 2007. However, migration from SharePoint 2003 to SharePoint 2007 presents significant challenges that, if not addressed, could seriously limit the benefits of SharePoint 2007 or cause an outright migration failure.
These migration challenges are many and their severity depends on the scale of your migration and the future of your SharePoint server use. Consider the following when choosing a SharePoint migration management solution:
- Does the solution allow for cross-platform migration or migration between 32-bit and 64-bit servers?
- Will the solution support a multiple-server migration? How much disk and log space will the tool require for migration?
- How does the solution migrate data – by modifying it on the original server or creating original “farms” on the new one? Can the tool migrate data granularly?
- How accessible will the SharePoint environment be during migration?
- Will customized site features and content remain intact after migration? How can the tool facilitate SharePoint server virtualization?
This white paper examines various SharePoint migration tools, including Microsoft’s in-place options, and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
