Server to data center migration

Matthias Freitag

At the moment we have for each Confluence, Jira, Crowd, Bitbucket and Bamboo an own server. 

Now we want to migrate to the data center version with minimum effort. Which steps are necessary for this? Could we use the servers also with the data center licenses and just need to swap them? Or did we need new servers? Is it also necessary to move to AWS or Azure or could we stay at our lokal server provider?

We are happy with the setup at the moment so we don't need the data center features. 

And is there a change to see where the plugins are used? Especially with Confluence?

Hi @Matthias Freitag , 

 

Atlassian has recently changed the way you move between Server and Data Center : now it's as simple as chaning the application license key, nothing else is required. This means that :

• you don't need to change your server configuration
• you don't need new AWS or Azure servers - the ones you currently use are fine
• you don't need to change anything on your database servers

The only change that will have an impact is for you plugins licenses : you will need to make sure they match you Jira/Confluence user tier and version, meaning that if you now have a Jira 500 user Data Center license, all your Jira plugins need to have a 500 users Data Center license too.

 

Let met know if this helps,
