Data Migration

Data migration is the movement of files between heterogeneous file servers. Projects such as file server consolidation, Network Attached Storage (NAS) consolidation, lease rollovers, platform upgrades, and vendor switches often involve data migration. These migrations can be costly business disruptions, requiring service outages and complex manual reconfiguration.

The F5 Acopia ARX® device allows data migration to take place without incurring downtime and without requiring administrators to manually reconfigure client systems and applications.
