Miria - Large Data and File Migration

Cross-platform storage automated migration

Atempo's data migration solution is storage agnostic. Files are collected with their ACLs intact on source storage before being converted automatically to a suitable form on the target storage. The choice of supported source and target platforms includes: GPFS, Lustre, Isilon, StorNext, Panasas, DDN, Qumulo, Huawei, Windows, macOS, Linux, … In addition to the above, all object storage supported by our Miria solution are also eligible targets.

From progressive to permanent migration

Our fast I/O performances and scalable solutions can get you through the migration of massive unstructured data sets from your current storage to the new one by: Reading files, folders, symlinks, etc. from the first storage in production. No production down time during the migration process. Replicating them to the brand new platform with fully intact ACLs. And by repeating this process until you are ready, it is very simple to avoid any production downtime during the migration. When you are fully ready to make the big switch, it just takes a simple network shift to expose your fully populated and shiny new storage!

Detailed reporting on all levels

Atempo’s scheduling enables you to fully control and organize storage content migration based on business priorities: per business unit, department, group of folders, age of the data, etc. You have full control of the what, when and how to minimize impact on business operations and run your project in a transparent and non-intrusive way. Our monitoring interface provides detailed reporting at I/O and throughput level as well as a high level view on the progress of your migration project. Our storage migration platform saves you and your team a lot of time, effort and IT budget.

Low network latency impact

Atempo implements a multi-layer technology that separates the detection of new, changed or deleted objects from the actual data movement process. The benefits are that data movement starts early and uses a high performance parallelized and multi-threaded streaming process. This is very robust technology which handles big and small files with little or no impact to network latency. With Atempo, you can manage your NAS-to-NAS migration as easily as you manage your server-to-server or server-to-NAS migration.

Managing incremetal changes

When migrating from one storage file system to another, we take into account ongoing data modifications. This ensures that source and target are fully in sync. Atempo's Data Migration tool, Miria, includes a built-in incremental functionality. This means that any changed or deleted objects will be recognized and handled without impacting overall migration performance. Storage migration just got a whole lot easier!

Scalable solution that meet performance expectations

Rapid and scalable migration

From a pure performance standpoint, an Atempo Miria data-moving farm is able to deliver more constant throughput than most networks can handle. Because you cannot unplug your primary storage to perform a full migration, you need a solution which manages I/Os intelligently. Atempo's adaptive read/write mechanism delivers the perfect balance between production throughput and the migration process. Need greater levels of migration performance? Simply add additional Atempo Data Movers. Need reduced power after the initial synchronizations? Lower the number of Atempo Data Movers.
