The dreaded data migration project: Every IT shop goes through it sooner or later. Though the reasons for data migration vary from technology refresh to complete data center migrations, they all have one thing in common: Typically, they are not eagerly anticipated. Why do data migration projects have the same appeal as a trip to the dentist for a root canal? Basically, this is due to the complexity of the environments and the risk of something going wrong during the process of moving a company's data and applications to a new infrastructure. SANpulse Technologies boast decades of data migration experience. Founded and staffed by highly skilled data migration veterans, the company understands the problems associated with migrating data through extensive experience. SANpulse attacked the problem— leveraging people, processes and technology to greatly accelerate migration and consolidation projects while simultaneously reducing risk and cost.
At the core of its solution is the SANlogics Service Delivery Platform, a highly flexible and modular software package that automates the data migrations process. Essentially, the software collects information about the existing environment to create a detailed "Blueprint" from the host (or application, depending on accessibility) to the spindle. Leveraging this information, the entire environment is then mapped to the new architecture. Within the first two weeks of a project, all path information, hardware configuration and automated command sets are created—giving SANpulse tremendous flexibility to respond to last minute changes. What makes the software so powerful is its ability to rapidly incorporate new technologies. As no two environments are alike, SANlogics utilizes SAN Blocks to build a data migration blueprint that is customized for each environment. Through automated data collection, one or two experts can replace the army of consultants and reduce the time and error involved with manual data migrations. SANpulse also eliminates the need to dedicate customer resources to a project. The upfront work completed by SANpulse enables greater volumes of hosts to be migrated at a time. In the past, migrating 10-12 servers a weekend was good; with SANpulse, 60 or 70 are easily accomplished. Because all the data is collected and the blueprint created for the entire environment, more can get accomplished within a maintenance window.
SANpulse has become the "GO-TO" company for some of the world's largest corporations facing data migration projects. Actual customer data indicates that the automation and intelligence built into the SANlogics Service Delivery Platform has significantly reduced the time and costs associated with the three main phases of a data migration project. Compared to traditional migration methods, customers have reduced the time required for the planning phase by 65%, the implementation phase by 86% and the execution phase by 52%. The average cost savings for the entire duration of a project is 75%.
SANpulse is changing the way one looks at SAN service and brings about a comfort level to a migration project by having the answers just a few clicks away. SANpulse proves it is possible to stay ahead of migrations and move at the speed of business. No longer is it about the customer bending to a four week lock down while the SAN team plays catch up, it is about delivering and conforming to what the customer envisions. SANpulse has created a just in time software platform that makes software on the fly for the automated delivery of data migration services. If you dread the word "Migration", visit www.sanpulse.com
