Data Migration Services
Migrating data between storage arrays can be a problematic process for storage administrators. The major barrier of upgrading storage architecture comes into play when transferring data from an older storage technology that has been displaced by newer systems.
RAID Inc.’s expert staff is able to easily address data migration issues by reading data without server involvement from any industry-standard Fibre Channel LUN, producing an exact copy of the data on a specified virtual volume. Upon completion, the newly created virtual volume can be assigned to an attached application server for immediate use. Ultimately, this process enhances work flow efficiencies and increases productivity.
RAID Inc.’s professional service staff is available to travel to your office site to complete a full data migration from existing to new storage systems, regardless of the platform.
