Data migration and replication across heterogeneous systems

Iblync is Interkey’s Saudi-built platform for moving data between systems no vendor supplies a path between — and for keeping them in step once the migration is over, so the cutover is not a single irreversible night.

Why it exists

Why moving data is the hard part

Every serious platform decision runs into the same obstacle. The database is chosen, the licence agreed, the architecture signed off — and then someone asks how twelve years of production data gets into the new system without losing anything and without taking the business offline.

The reasons are consistent: a migration that silently mangles rows is worse than one that fails loudly; the downtime window a business will grant is a few hours on a weekend, not the days a bulk export wants; and source and target rarely share a data model. Vendor tooling stops at the boundary, which is precisely where a migration happens.

Capabilities

What the platform does

Grouped by the outcome a project is trying to reach. Most engagements use the first two; the third is what separates a migration that survives a working week from one that does not.

CapabilityWhat it is for
MigrationMoving data to a target that was not designed to receive it: database modernisation, platform consolidation, a move to or from cloud. Workflows are configured rather than hand-coded, which makes a second migration cheaper than the first.
ReplicationContinuous real-time replication, including bi-directional synchronisation where both sides accept writes. That is what supports parallel running: old and new both live, in step, for as long as the cutover plan requires.
Flow controlThrottling and resource-consumption control, so replication does not compete with production for capacity. When a target becomes unavailable, changes queue rather than fail.
ConnectorsA connector set that is actively extended, with custom connectors built for systems it does not yet cover — so an unsupported system is a connector to build, not a reason the project cannot proceed.

Benchmarks

Product benchmark figures

These are the platform’s own benchmark measurements against defined scenarios — what Iblync has been measured doing, not a service level committed to on your data. Volumes, schema complexity, network path and existing load all move these numbers, so treat them as the starting point for a scoped test against your own systems.

How a move runs

From the old system to the new one, without the outage

The shape that makes a large migration survivable is not a faster bulk copy. It is running both systems at once, in step, until the business is ready to switch, and keeping the option to switch back.

  1. Source system

    The production database, still serving the business at full load

  2. Initial load

    The bulk of the data moved once, throttled so it does not compete with production

  3. Continuous replication

    Changes since the load applied continuously, with queueing if the target goes away

  4. Parallel running

    Both systems live and in step, for as long as validation and the business require

  5. Cutover

    The switch happens on the business’s schedule, with the source still there

The cutover is a decision, not an event you cannot reverse: replication continues while both systems run, so the switch happens when the business is ready rather than when the transfer window ends.

Deployment

Where it runs, and what that decides

It is run through configured workflows rather than code, so the migration is something your own database team can see, review and repeat. The migration guide sets out how a project of this kind runs, phase by phase. When this is the wrong fit: a move between two products from the same vendor usually has a supported native path, and that path will be cheaper.
