Automatic Throttling Management for Office 365 Migration

What is Office 365 Throttling, and how does it affect Migration?

Office 365 throttling is a built-in mechanism that limits the number of requests that will hit the Office 365 services during a given period, and migrations are one activity where these limits are most likely to be encountered. Once the throttling limits have been hit, the immediate impact of this on the migration process is as follows:

1. Data is migrated slower, significantly delaying the whole timeline beyond initial estimation.
2. Users will experience longer downtime, causing work to come to a halt.
3. Items or folders will fail to be migrated, leaving gaps and holes in the migrated data.
4. Duplicate data will start appearing in the destination, with no explicit cause.
5. Data integrity becomes unstable, leaving the need for extra data consistency checks before the migration process can be regarded as complete.

What is Office 365 Throttling, and how does it affect Migration?

EdbMails tackles the throttling errors at their roots by detecting throttling errors during Office 365 migration and handling these without requiring any manual interference during migrations to maintain constant flow of data both during the busy and off-peak hours. Here is what that means in practice:

• Data migration runs smoothly without unexpected interruptions along the way.
• Large mailbox migrations don't need someone standing by to restart a stalled operation.
• The risk of data loss and duplicate entries on the target server stays off the table.
• Time and effort that would otherwise go into managing throttling errors gets saved.
• Servers stay up throughout the migration — zero downtime, from start to finish.
