between IBM System Storage™ N series storage systems while avoiding system
overhead
Avoid user disruption-can maintain a high level of system availability
during data migration
Improve system resource utilization-can help migrate workload to meet changing
business needs
The challenge: Migrating data quickly while maintaining availability
As your company grows, its storage requirements and policies change in response to new business initiatives and challenges. In addition, the storage demands of compute-intensive applications often grow over time. You may need to migrate data to scale your infrastructure to accommodate growing data sets and new clients, improve performance and response time for users, reduce the processing burden on an overloaded storage system, or meet a service-level agreement with users performing mission-critical work. The challenge is to migrate workload to provide for improved performance and resource utilization, and to do it quickly, effectively, and economically. Most existing workload migration solutions, however, require IT to copy data from one location to another, which is a tedious and time-consuming process. In addition, users are not able to access data during the migration process, which causes user dissatisfaction and impacts productivity.
The solution: SnapMover technology for simple, fast data migration
SnapMover® technology is designed to be a fast and simple solution
for migrating data among IBM System Storage N series systems while avoiding
impact on data availability and disruption to users. Offering powerful
and flexible data migration capabilities, SnapMover technology can enable
IT teams to efficiently address evolving storage and performance requirements.
By migrating data rapidly and transparently while avoiding downtime, SnapMover
can help you improve your storage environment while avoiding impact on
users or their productivity.
Reduced impact on your IT infrastructure
SnapMover technology supports the migration of data between IBM System
Storage N series devices without the need to copy and store it on other
devices. This new approach can help make migration fast and efficient,
while avoiding impact on system overhead or networking bandwidth or requiring
the need for additional storage resources. In addition, SnapMover technology
can help reduce the IT burden typically required to provision data at
a new destination system. By moving data rapidly and providing quick user
access to it after migration, SnapMover can help reduce the impact of
the migration on data availability.
Simple data migration to meet data management objectives
Whatever your reason for migrating data among IBM System Storage N series
systems, SnapMover technology can help you simplify the process. SnapMover
technology supports achieving enterprise data management objectives relative
to lessening the time and resources required to migrate workload among
N series systems. SnapMover technology also supports the rapid migration
of data while helping to avoid disruption to users or interruption in
data availability.
