    I'm not sure either word is officially defined.  In purely semantic terms, I'd say migration is moving data, users etc to a different system (whether that be a different database, server, SAN, for example), whereas upgrade (there's no such word as upgradation) is the substitution of one system (server, OS, SAN, etc) for one of a more modern version.
