Data migrations can be costly, time consuming, and highly disruptive to your business. Unless you can squeeze a migration into limited off-hours, business downtime seems inevitable. And in addition to performing the migration, you have to reconfigure client systems, fix errors as they occur, and keep your IT staff on track.
F5 intelligent file virtualization enables online, policy-based data migrations. These automated migrations mean no service outages, no disruption to users, and no headaches for you.
Migrate without disruption
A traditional data migration can lead to business downtime, requiring client reconfiguration and troubleshooting. F5 storage solutions virtualize your file storage environment so you can migrate data between resources with no effect on users. By decoupling the physical location of files from their logical access, F5 delivers data to the right place at the right time. With F5 storage solutions you can:
- Reduce the total cost of your data migration projects.
- Maintain user access to data, even during complex migrations.
Perform migration projects in less time
Migrate your file data at any time—even during business hours—without disrupting business continuity. F5 enables you to:
- Reduce the time required to perform data migration projects by up to 90 percent.
- Complete your migration project on schedule and at lower cost.
Reduce operational overhead
You can’t disrupt user productivity, so you have to schedule your migration over the weekend or at night. It’s a hassle. But F5 storage solutions preserve file access before, during, and after any migration, so you can:
- Migrate your data at any time.
- Eliminate the need to reconfigure client systems after every migration.
- Reduce the number of migration-related errors. Less stress for you, less stress for your staff.
