Migration Flexibility
|
|---|
|
Migrate data transparently
|
StorageTek TDMF software lets you easily migrate data from one disk array system to another disk array system while maintaining nonstop access and application availability.
|
|
|
Supports mixed arrays
|
Since StorageTek TDMF software is a host-based, online data-migration solution, you can seamless migrate data from one storage array to another, regardless of age or vendor, with no service disruptions. For example, you can use it to migrate data from any legacy system to a newer system, such as the Sun StorageTek Shard Virtual Array (SVA) or 9900 systems. All the key steps, including installation, copying, and migration, occur non-disruptively and are transparent to data users.

You're in control
|
With StorageTek TDMF software, you're in control of your data. You can quickly update source volumes for reliable fallback, consolidate or relocate remote datacenters, and balance the performance of logical data sets and workloads for greater efficiency.
|
|
|
Vendor-independent
|
StorageTek TDMF software interoperates with other storage vendor’s equipment, enabling you to use the arrays that best fit your business needs. It is also compatible with StorageTek Data SnapShot software, which provides point-in-time copies between SVA disk systems.

No Service Interruptions

Eliminates downtime
|
Application outages, and the costs of downtime, are the major risks of data migration. StorageTek TDMF software has zero impact on your applications, enabling business processes to continue to sustain their contribution to your growth and profitability. Your storage administrators no longer have to strategize to find the least harmful time to schedule an outage so they can move data, and your users are happy to have uninterrupted access to the information they need, when they need it.

|
Beyond array-based copy functions
|
If you're migrating data from another vendor's old array to new StorageTek systems, array-based copy functions won’t carry the migration. But if you're migrating data to a StorageTek SVA or 9900 system, StorageTek TDMF software gives you continuous access to data and nonstop applications availability. The software is transparent to applications and offers non-disruptive installation, copy, and migration capabilities.

|
|
Data integrity
|
During the migration process, your source data remains untouched, ensuring the integrity of the data and your business processes. Plus, you can stop the migration at any time.

|
Protects resources
|
StorageTek TDMF software's rapid, non-disruptive deployment of new storage features, capacities, and technology reduces your implementation costs and increases your long-term investment protection.
|
|
|
Continuous availability
|
The software allows for full system sharing throughout the datacenter and enables full access to the data at any point during a migration operation.
|
|
|
Dynamic takeover
|
To enable full data migration, StorageTek TDMF software supports dynamic takeover on the part of the target device.
