Not all your teams are moving to cloud on the same timeline. You still need both environments to work like one.
For most organizations, “migrate to Cloud” is the plan — but the timeline is rarely clean. Regulated business units may need to stay on Data Center for compliance reasons. Legacy integrations tied to Data Center aren’t ready to be re-platformed. A subsidiary acquired mid-migration is still fully on Data Center. The result: you’re running both environments, not as a temporary state, but as your operational reality for the foreseeable future.
That’s not a migration problem. That’s an infrastructure problem, and it needs a different kind of solution.
Space Sync for Confluence keeps your Cloud and Data Center environments synchronized for as long as you need to run both, without treating hybrid as a failure mode.
What this looks like in practice
Your organization has moved the majority of teams to Confluence Cloud. But your compliance and legal teams are subject to data residency requirements that make a full Data Center decommission impossible right now. Your Cloud teams and your Data Center teams need access to the same governance documentation, policies, and project content, but they’re working in different environments with no native way to stay in sync.
Every time a policy is updated in Data Center, someone has to manually replicate it to Cloud. Every time a Cloud team produces a document that Data Center users need to reference, it lives only in Cloud. The longer this continues, the larger the gap grows.
What breaks without continuous sync
- Policy and governance documents updated on Data Center become invisible to Cloud teams; or vice versa
- Teams can’t tell which environment has the current version of a shared document
- Content owners maintain duplicate pages across two platforms, creating ongoing manual overhead
- Compliance teams can’t demonstrate that both environments reflect the same approved documentation
- Stakeholder confidence erodes when different teams reference different versions of the same content
In a long-running hybrid setup, these aren’t one-time problems. They compound every week you run both platforms.
How Space Sync for Confluence fixes this
Space Sync for Confluence runs continuous bidirectional sync between your Confluence Cloud and Data Center environments, keeping content aligned regardless of where it originates or how long you need to run both platforms.
Define which spaces sync and in which direction. An admin can configure a governance space to sync from Data Center to Cloud, so Cloud teams always have the current, Data Center-approved version — without giving Cloud teams write access to the Data Center original. Audit logs capture every sync event, providing a clear record for compliance review.
There’s no assumption that hybrid is temporary. Space Sync for Confluence is built to run sustainably across whatever timeline your organization needs.
Key capabilities for this scenario:
- Continuous bidirectional sync between Cloud and Data Center instances
- Sync scope controls: configure per-space sync direction and inclusion/exclusion rules
- Audit logs for every sync event, suitable for compliance review
- Auto-sync to keep both environments current without manual triggers
- Conflict detection to flag and surface discrepancies before they cause issues
What changes for your team
Cloud teams stop working from outdated copies of Data Center documentation. Data Center teams stop missing content that only exists in Cloud. Content owners maintain one version, not two. Compliance teams have a clear audit trail showing that both environments reflect approved, current documentation.
Hybrid stops being a liability and becomes a managed, stable state.
