That’s what our system is designed for! We automate the data migration process and preserve existing shares, directory structure and permissions, ensuring a seamless transition.
The migration process is designed to minimize downtime. It begins with a discovery pass to produce filesystem analytics, followed by a series of delta migration passes. When ready for cutover, the migration source shares are transitioned to a read-only state during off-hours. A final quick delta migration pass is then performed, and user access to the CTERA-based destination shares can be enabled, ensuring minimal downtime.
The migration process includes a verification step that compares file hashes to ensure data integrity. Additionally, a migration report is provided with those hashes, offering a fully regulatory-compliant chain of custody, giving you confidence that the migration is accurate and complete.
Sure, with our real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities, you can track the progress of your data migration and ensure everything is proceeding as planned.
