Migrate to Data Center

Can all Server installations of Confluence and Jira be migrated to Data Center?

• Yes, however version updates and/or infrastructure updates might be required.

Is there anything I should check before migration?

• Check if your installed apps are available for Data Center and upgrade them to the Data Center version. Learn About App Compatibility

Do I need additional infrastructure to run Data Center?

• If you run Data Center with a single node setup there is no need to change anything.

• If you decide to cluster Data Center to benefit high availability and failover, then performance and scale and instant scalability changes to your infrastructure are required.

I am running multiple individual Server installations – any tips?

• Consolidate multiple individual Server installations into a single Data Center deployment to save costs and help you scale.

We are running a lot of custom developed Apps – how do we get them running in Data Center?

• As with Server, Data Center Apps are built using the Atlassian plugin software development kit (SDK). However there are some differences – read the developing for Data Center guidelines to learn more.

• Running Apps successfully on Data Center for years, we can also help you in this journey. Just get in touch with us.
