Cirata Symphony 1.7 is now generally available
Cirata Symphony 1.7 has been released, including the Data Migrator extension that brings file migration, replication and recovery into the Cirata Symphony platform. The release helps organizations move legacy data to the cloud, keep data replicated and maintain copies for recovery, while managing these operations alongside Cirata Symphony’s existing capabilities.
For data and infrastructure teams, moving data is only part of the challenge. They also need to see what is happening, verify what has arrived and control who can access migration and recovery tools. Cirata Symphony 1.7 brings these activities together, combining Data Migrator with Ice Flow, Observability and Intelligence.
The Data Migrator extension supports movement across HDFS, Amazon S3, S3-compatible storage, IBM Cloud Object Storage, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, Google Cloud Storage, Apache Ozone and local NAS. It is designed to move data while source systems remain in use, helping organizations modernize their data estates without interrupting ongoing operations.
With Symphony 1.7, customers can:
- Manage file and table movement together. Run Data Migrator alongside Ice Flow for Apache Iceberg tables, with a shared identity, access controls and view of usage.
- Monitor and verify transfers. Inspect storage health, live events and transfer history, and verify files while source data continues to change. Migration can continue for up to 72 hours if contact with Symphony is lost.
- Inspect backups and restore selectively. Review backup contents before restoring and recover only the data required.
- Connect existing operational and AI tools. Send logs and metrics through OpenTelemetry and make Data Migrator tools available to customers’ AI platforms and agents through Symphony Intelligence, subject to customer access controls.
The extension brings Data Migrator’s core file migration, replication and recovery capabilities into Cirata Symphony. Standalone Data Migrator remains available; existing customers can continue using it as they do today. Hive metadata migration remains part of standalone Data Migrator and is not included in the Cirata Symphony 1.7 extension.
The release also ships as IBM Big Replicate for Cirata Symphony 1.7.
