Abstract
A method includes receiving a migration request to migrate a source data set stored at a source endpoint and having a first data format. The migration request includes a source identifier indicative of the source endpoint having a first architecture type and a destination identifier indicative of a destination endpoint having a second architecture type. The method also includes determining whether a data translation is required by comparing the first architecture type with the second architecture type. The method further includes determining a first particular transform mechanism from a plurality of transform mechanisms based on the second architecture type. The method additionally includes translating the first data format of the source data set into a second data format corresponding to the second architecture type using the first particular transform mechanism and storing the translated source data set at the destination endpoint.
