  • System and method for object migration using waves
    Patent number: 11301439
    Abstract: A system and method for information technology (IT) migration includes determining a relationship among objects to be migrated such that the relationship includes a set of objects having at least one of a common feature or dependency between the objects in the set. The objects are grouped into a plurality of migration waves such that cross-wave relationships are minimized among the plurality of migration waves. The objects are migrated wave by wave.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 21, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2022
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Richard K. Athey, John K. Baker, Ronda L. Caswell, Steve N. Lee, Matthew A. Markley, Birgit Pfitzmann, Michael Tacci, Bruce G. Taylor, Tylon O. Willingham
