Kernel Migration for SharePoint refers to the process of upgrading or transitioning the core components of a SharePoint environment while preserving data, configurations, and functionality. This SharePoint Migration tool could involve:
-
Version Upgrades (e.g., SharePoint 2013 → 2016/2019 → SharePoint Subscription Edition)
-
Platform Shifts (e.g., On-premises → SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365)
-
Underlying Infrastructure Changes (e.g., Database, OS, or security layer updates)
Key Aspects:
-
Minimal Downtime: Ensuring business continuity during migration.
-
Data Integrity: Maintaining metadata, permissions, and content structure.
-
Compatibility Checks: Verifying custom solutions (apps, workflows) in the new kernel.
-
Performance Optimization: Leveraging new kernel improvements.
