Verified platform change
Microsoft's dated customer story says Legal & General selected Azure SQL Database after assessing its existing Db2 database and used SQL Server Migration Assistant to migrate around 350 million records from Db2 to Azure SQL in under three hours, followed by validation.
Transition
From: the on-premises IBM Db2 database backing Legal & General's Asset & Liability Payment Service (ALPS)
To: Azure SQL Database for the migrated ALPS data as part of the source-described ALPS modernisation
Known unknowns
The dated Microsoft source proves the bounded ALPS database migration from Db2 to Azure SQL Database and post-migration data validation. It does not prove retirement of every Legal & General database, completion of the wider ALPS application modernisation or a private estate-wide cutover chronology.
