Acopia ARX Storage Consolidation and Data Migration Solutions

With storage needs growing rapidly, many businesses turn to storage consolidation and data migration to simplify their infrastructure, making it easier to manage and expand for future needs.

The Challenges

• Disruption from consolidation & migration - Basic data migration and consolidation tasks are disruptive, labor intensive and require downtime. As a result, storage managers typically over provision the capacity of file systems
• Inefficient use of file storage - Enterprises have low NAS utilisation rates (30%-50% average) and considerable stranded or unusable capacity across file systems
• Manual migration and client reconfiguration - Adding new systems to an existing environment or upgrading to new software often requires manual migration and time-consuming client reconfiguration

The Acopia Solution

The Acopia ARX simplifies data migration and consolidation tasks and makes them non-disruptive to clients. Acopia ARX products allow storage managers to transparently migrate data between multiple file systems / NAS devices, in order to redeploy stranded capacity and optimise NAS utilisation.

The Acopia ARX enables customers to perform data migration based on several criteria (file type, path, age, etc) and to schedule migrations around backup windows or other workflow objectives. Storage administrators can use these automated policies for a range of storage management tasks such as consolidating and decommissioning old systems, performing software upgrades or integrating new NAS devices/capacity into their environment.

Acopia's Global Presentation Namespace technology allows these storage management operations to be performed on-line, while providing continuous client access to data

The Benefits

• Simplified processes - Simplify data migration and consolidation tasks and make them transparent to end-users
• Better storage utilisation - Increase utilisation on existing storage and redeploy 'stranded' or unusable capacity, saving CAPEX
• Automated management - Automate data migration, consolidation and provisioning tasks, dramatically reducing the OPEX associated with storage management
• Simplified administration - Eliminate client mount point complexity and reconfiguration problems, greatly simplifying storage administration
