Objective Move 1.3 terabytes
of data from the StorageTek V960 and from the IBM FastT 200 to the
IBM ESS 800. Migration requirements included compatibility with Windows
NTFS file system, LUN Expansion capabilities, seamless transport of
file permissions and shares, as well as fast migration speeds.
Insight "The only other
Windows migration solutions that we had found were software solutions,
but they were all too slow. Vicom's DME connects to both storage systems,
takes the servers out of the loop, does a fast migration, and preserves
all the NTFS file permissions and shares." Bob
Mounts, Technology Leader, Logan Aluminum Services
Department
Objective
Performed heterogeneous migrations consisting of multiple operating
systems (AIX, NT, Solaris), multiple storage vendors (SUN, IBM, EMC,
and HP) multiple protocols (SCSI to FC), while also enabling company
to verify integrity of the migrated data before moving servers to
the new location.
Insight
"It was very difficult to find a vendor with data migration services
that actually worked. In fact, only one vendor other than Vicom made
it to the last qualifying phase, and that vendor failed miserably.“

Financial Services Company
Objective
Migrate 2.5 Terabytes of data from Hitachi 7700E storage to IBM ESS
800 going through the Cisco 64 port switch.
Insight
"Because the Vicom DME was so fast, we performed off-line migrations.
By the time the Sys Admin had installed the new HBAs, drivers and
software in our server to attach it to the new storage, the DME had
moved the data. I was very impressed.”
