NAS Migrations
DOBIMINER® TAKES NAS STORAGE MIGRATION
TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL
DobiMiner delivers next generation end-to-end NAS migrations. Its powerful
functionality enables you to move from one storage platform to another quickly,
easily, accurately, and cost effectively.
OVERVIEW
When faced with the pain of a long, labor-intensive, skill-absorbing, and error-prone
migration, DobiMiner is the fix. DobiMiner brings automation, advanced engineering,
and embedded intelligence that will completely revolutionize your platform migrations:
Built-in Discovery - DobiMiner extracts the
metadata from your storage platform and gives
you powerful insights — what is stored, who
stored it, when it is accessed, and more — so
you can have a complete, holistic view of your
data and users to intelligently plan your
migration.
Workflow based – DobiMiner will inform you
about ongoing activities and clearly indicate
when your input is needed. You can track all
the migration steps in real-time, via the
interactive grid, from a high level view down
to a granular detailed report.
Built to scale – DobiMiner’s distributed model is designed to handle large-scale
migrations and comes with advanced throttling and scheduling support (both at server
and network level) to smoothly align with your infrastructure while optimizing duration
and performance. It is a single solution for migrating SMB, NFS, and Mixed-mode
protocols.
Simple & Intuitive Interface – DobiMiner allows you to centrally manage your
project via a simple, easy-to-use web interface. You can also monitor progress
remotely via the ‘Email Home’ feature.
Low touch planning – DobiMiner can help you plan and execute your switch over
windows for a smooth transfer of users and applications to your new storage platform.
It allows you to deal with last minute changes swiftly in a low-touch manner.
SOLUTION OVERVIEW
DOBIMINER KEY BENEFITS
DobiMiner is an end-to-end platform migration solution that helps reduce effort, cost,
and duration:
Easy to deploy – DobiMiner can be up and running within an hour through easy-touse installers and virtual instances as a software-only solution.
Reduce your effort – DobiMiner takes away the repetitive work and allows you to
focus on what matters: to manage by exception and resolve issues highlighted to you
by DobiMiner.
Shorter duration – DobiMiner’s speed and flexible planning and dry run simulations
helps you to optimize the planning and switch over of users and applications to the
new storage system quickly.
Flexibility – DobiMiner will support you in absorbing any last minute business,
infrastructure, network, or operational restrictions that would impact the migration
project and team.
Deal with complexity – DobiMiner takes away the complexity that comes with an
increase in the number of servers, users, applications, and data to be migrated
because you can group and track servers together with their own planning, progress
reporting, and issue tracking.
Non-intrusive – DobiMiner allows you to run the migration project as transparently
and non-intrusively as possible to ongoing business operations. Multi-threading,
throttling, and scheduling at the proxy level, together with a flexible distributed
model, gives you the options you need to seamlessly blend into your infrastructure.
Maintain Control - DobiMiner allows you to take control over the migration activities
as they progress. This includes prioritization within the planning, migration
granularity, network usage, and server load. At any point in time during the activities,
accurate ETAs, and durations help you set expectations with your stakeholders.
