37.5 Million Directories Migrated with the last sync in 48 Hours using StorageX

• Move billions of files from NetApp’s Infinite Volume to a Flex Group on the same cluster
• Moving millions of directories with millions of files within an allotted time.
• Sync incremental updates in the files
• Achieving optimal throughput while migrating files

• During the file movement process, the file system was constantly being updated causing additional efforts in comparison and update.
• Allotted cutover window of 48 hours only
• The previous tool was unable to sync the incremental copies of the baseline copies delaying the process and adding glitches
• Achieving optimal throughput while migrating the files with accuracy

StorageX was selected to perform the migration of the process:

• Single pane view across migration process
• The policy-based approach maximized the data access, minimized cutover windows, user downtime, and other disruptions related to file storage rebalancing, migrations, and tech refreshes
• Minimal disruption to business for cutover meeting the estimated target of 48 hours
• Sync up of incremental copies of the baseline copies
• Ability to set QoS during replication to minimize client impact
