Rocket Software, a developer of Enterprise Infrastructure products, and Hitachi Data Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, have released Arkivio auto-migrator, a new agentless data migration tool that allows customers to transition to a consolidated file services environment based on the Hitachi Data Systems NAS platform.
The companies said that the new data migration tool can migrate data from any CIFS or NFS based file server or NAS server to Hitachi NAS. It is available in two versions: Value and Enterprise. For customers who already know which data they intent to migrate, Arkivio auto-migrator value edition allows to create migration policies to Hitachi NAS, and includes basic reporting functionality.
For customers who need more detailed reporting and classification capabilities, Arkivio auto-migrator Enterprise edition includes more detailed file system analysis and reporting tools, the company said. Both the editions allow customers to schedule migrations, minimising the impact on end-users.
Marc Trimuschat, senior director of worldwide alliances at Hitachi Data Systems, said: “We look forward to offering the Arkivio Auto-migrator product to our customers. By consolidating multiple NAS devices onto the Hitachi NAS Platform and then leveraging the tiering capabilities of Hitachi NAS, customers can greatly improve their storage utilisation and reduce ongoing costs in their unstructured data environments.”
