SANpulse Data Migration Solution

Data migration can be required for a variety of reasons: Arrays are frequently replaced; Lease expiration of old fiber channel SAN leads to new hardware procurements; Termination of maintenance cycles arrive, or; Business simply demands more capacity or higher performance. Occasionally, in an effort to reduce costs, clients require that data be moved from high performance storage to low performance. And often, business continuance or disaster recovery plans dictate the migration of data to remote or secure locations.

While the discrete cost of storage is decreasing, the cost and business-impact of managing migration projects is rending upwards. Data migration projects are often complex and time consuming, and require detailed planning to mitigate risk and ensure business continuity. These projects often place a high demand on the client’s internal teams, and have a negative effect on the overall storage solvency of the organization during the project. There are many data movers on the market that – with varying degrees of success – can help move the data.

But the greatest challenge lies in performing the task while concurrently ensuring that the organization maintains optimal productivity levels. This requires a deep understanding of the current environment, the efficient capturing of complex system dependencies, and precision execution from start to finish.
