File Level Data Migration

Migrate File-Level Data to a New NAS System

File Level Data Migration involves the copying of files, folders and entire directories from legacy storage NAS shares to a new NAS system. This process has typically been time-consuming and disruptive to the business operation. Now with RELDATA file level data migration solution this painstaking process is simple.

A RELDATA 9240 Unified Storage Gateway includes data migration software that assists system administrators with migrating legacy file shares to the virtual volumes residing on the storage devices.

A simplified view of the data migration process is shown on the diagram below.

Benefits of a RELDATA File Level Migration

  1. Moves files from legacy CIFS or NFS systems
  2. No additional fees per TB or number of shares migrated
  3. Fast and efficient transfer with low overhead and progress status
  4. Centralized GUI management and resource monitoring

Once the file shares are placed on the virtual volumes created by the RELDATA 9240 Gateway, they are no longer tied to a specific hardware storage device or array. They can be migrated to any downstream storage system (RAID array, JBOD, SAN LUN, IP SAN LUN, etc.) that is connected to the 9240 Gateway without any disruption to the service provided to the users. Additionally, the virtual volumes can be mirrored or replicated.
