Combining Storage vMotion, Datadobi, and PowerStore native migration features results in a robust, automated, and non-disruptive migration strategy that supports a range of data types and applications.
Simplify Your Storage Migration with PowerStore’s Built-In Tools
Dell PowerStore‘s Universal Storage Import (USI) features can facilitate and automate file and block data migrations to the PowerStore platform. Migrations from Dell and third-party storage arrays are made easier, faster, and less expensive with the help of these tools, which are built into the PowerStore Management GUI. This simple link eliminates the need for extra tools, allowing IT workers to focus on higher-value tasks that drive business growth.
Say Goodbye to Extra Tools and Welcome to Streamlined Integration
By simplifying and automating resource-intensive, complex migrations, USI products benefit end users. Users can integrate data from several sources, such as Unity, Unity XT, SC Series, PS Series, VNX2, VMAX3, XtremIO, and third-party systems, on a single PowerStore system. These technologies finally ensure that transferred data enjoys enterprise-grade data services, exceptional performance, cost effectiveness, scalability, integrated data protection, robust cybersecurity, and sustainability features with little downtime and continuous operations.
Boost VMware Migrations with Successful Partnerships
The built-in file and block storage migration features in PowerStore are just the first step. For VMware configurations, Storage vMotion is a helpful supplement to these technologies. Together, they provide a powerful combination that can expedite and simplify the transition to modern infrastructure. Workload mobility, zero-downtime migrations, and efficient resource management are ensured due to Dell’s expertise with VMware technologies, which enhances performance and streamlines operations. Dell offers cutting-edge technologies, innovative solutions, and ongoing support to help businesses build a strong and future-ready IT foundation.
Enhance Scalability with Dell’s Large-Scale File Migration Options
For large-scale (50TB+) file storage transfers, Dell Services’ flexible access to Datadobi enables comprehensive migration options.
A Unified Approach to Data Migration and Management
Together, the technologies of Datadobi, Storage vMotion, and PowerStore USI offer a reliable, automated migration strategy that supports a range of workloads and data kinds.
PowerStore’s comprehensive approach offers a future-ready storage architecture that simplifies data management and consolidation and ensures a seamless and successful migration process. PowerStore is the greatest choice for companies looking to keep their competitive edge in a rapidly evolving IT landscape because it offers end users a scalable, flexible solution that enhances operating efficiency and simplifies all responsibilities.
How Storage vMotion works?
The idea of vMotion technology may be known to you, but you might not understand the intricacies of how Storage vMotion operates. There are three different kinds of VMware vMotion techniques for data migration, including storage vMotion.
Using vSphere’s modified block tracking (CBT) technology, storage vMotion first copies the data from the virtual machine you want to move. Because it helps maintain the integrity of your data while the virtual machine is being duplicated, CBT technology is crucial to this stage.
The server will then make a second query to the CBT-created modules in order to generate a duplicate of the virtual machine in the new target location. Until the target copy and the original virtual machine are in sync, this process is repeated. The original virtual machine is suspended and the system is directed to the new location of the VM’s image once the two copies match.
A number of variables will affect how long this process takes. The most crucial element will be the size of your virtual machine’s disk image, but other factors like bandwidth and network speed also matter. However, transfers made with VMware’s storage vMotion typically take place in a couple of seconds and are invisible to the user.
