GCP migration mandate with looming renewal
Your enterprise architecture team requires a move to GCP, but your IBM Db2 renewal is approaching with a price shock.
Complex Db2 structures like XML and packages
Your Db2 databases contain XML storage, custom packages, and system catalogs that don't map directly to PostgreSQL.
Security configuration disparities
Ensuring equivalent security controls during migration is critical but often underestimated, risking compliance gaps.
IBM Db2 → Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL migration — your questions answered
How do you migrate IBM Db2 XML storage to Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL?+
Our engineers analyze XML structures, map them to PostgreSQL JSONB or relational, and validate data integrity. We handle all schema conversions as part of the fixed scope.
What about IBM Db2 packages and system catalogs during migration to GCP Postgres?+
We assess dependencies and convert or replace Db2 packages with PostgreSQL equivalents. System catalogs are migrated with custom scripts to maintain metadata.
Can I migrate from Db2 to Google Cloud SQL PostgreSQL without a costly IBM support extension?+
Yes. We keep your Db2 environment on vendor support while your contract is active. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues while you complete the move.
How does the migration timeline work for a GCP SQL PostgreSQL compatibility assessment?+
We start with a compatibility assessment to identify blockers. A typical migration takes 5-10 months with 2-4 senior consultants, depending on complexity.
