In some example embodiments, a computerized method includes determining at least one of a read frequency, a write frequency and a data volume for data persistently stored. The data has a first format. The method also includes selecting a first type of data migration or a second type of data migration, wherein the selecting is derived from at least one of the read frequency, the write frequency and the data volume for the data persistently stored. The method includes transforming the data to a second format using the selected data migration. The method includes outputting the data for storage in machine-readable medium.
