Data Migration

Dell Intelligent Data Mobility services enable organizations to easily overcome the traditional obstacles to seamless and successful data migration. These include:

• Disruption. Traditional data migration techniques lead to unacceptable disruption in users’ ability to access data during migration process.
• Time-intensive. Traditional migration requires careful planning and execution of data migration blueprints, coordinating efforts across multiple teams and slowing the pace at which companies can migrate to new storage arrays.
• Cost. The expense of traditional data migration can be so high that organizations may delay the acquisition of new storage arrays that are required to manage growth in data volumes.

Dell Intelligent Data Mobility services enable organizations to reduce the time, cost and complexity of data migration. With a proven and repeatable methodology, Intelligent Data Mobility uses technology, automation and Dell expertise to execute seamless data migration and to minimize the time and expense of onboarding new storage.

What is data migration?

Data migration is the process of moving data from one location, application, architecture, file storage system (including network storage, object storage, and tiered storage systems) or to another. 

What are the challenges of data migration?

Data migration inevitably involves a certain amount of risk – data may be lost or corrupted in the process, or it may be exposed in such a way that it could be stolen or accessed by a malicious individual. Data migration can be costly, as the process of moving data can consume a great deal of staff time. And because data may need to go off-line at some point in order to move it, data migration can involve disruption to user productivity and business operations.

• Easier disaster recovery, as data is stored in a remote location and can be accessed via an Internet connection.
• Greater accessibility, since data can be accessed from anywhere.
