Non-Disruptive Data Migration

The Challenge:

1. Refresh IT infrastructures to keep pace with strategic goals and objectives.
2. Non-disruptively migrate applications and data from older, slower or more expensive storage to newer, faster or less expensive devices.
3. Prevent overburdening storage devices by proactively reassigning applications to different storage devices to achieve better performance and balance workloads.
4. Protect migrating data by creating instant snapshots for use in zero-downtime backup and rapid online restores.
5. Storage consolidation.
6. Non-disruptively change the QoS.

The Solution:

Use StoreAge multiCopy data replication solutions to enable any-to-any data movement while production applications remain online, protect data by creating instant read/write copies of migrating volumes, and centrally manage data movement processes between devices at any location.
