Effortless, Secure, and Scalable

Transform Your Enterprise Data Migration with StorageX

The Hybrid Cloud offers a powerful solution for organizations, delivering cost-efficiency, agility, and enhanced data accessibility. However, managing hybrid cloud environments presents its own set of challenges, particularly when dealing with unstructured data. Many businesses, like yours, may not have full visibility into what’s hidden within their data, including sensitive information. Often, organizations choose the traditional lift-and-shift approach during cloud migration, overlooking crucial data insights that could save both time and money. This can result in higher costs, longer timelines, and increased security risks. To make the most of your Hybrid Cloud strategy, adopting a data-driven approach is essential. StorageX by Data Dynamics is designed to simplify these complex challenges with intelligence and efficiency. An award-winning unstructured data migration software, StorageX automates and streamlines policy-driven migrations, removing the constraints of vendor lock-in and empowering enterprises to manage large-scale data center transitions, cloud migrations, and storage optimization with ease. Unlike the traditional lift-and-shift method, StorageX harnesses the power of data analytics to ensure every migration is fast, secure, and insight-driven for smarter decision-making. Moreover, through our partnership with Microsoft, StorageX powers the Azure File Migration Program, offering businesses zero-cost migrations into Azure, ensuring a seamless and cost-effective journey to the cloud.

Migration

Policy-driven data migration that can quickly and accurately move petabytes of data across various platforms, both on-premises and in the cloud (File to File, File to Object, Object to Object). We support Azure, OneDrive, GCP, AWS, and more.

Replication

Automated data management policies facilitate the replication of source files to any location. Move an entire share or export to a new share or export.

File to Object Replication

Accelerate your journey to the cloud. Scalable, secure, and automated data mobility for file-to-object transformation with object sizing feature.

Object to Object Replication

As businesses adopt multi-cloud strategies, they depend on a secure, scalable, and automated solution to move their data between multiple object storage platforms and get deep insight into object sizing.

Business Values

Effortless Data Migration at Scale

83% of migrations fail or exceed their budget and scheduling constraints. StorageX supports seamless, automated data migration across environments, including on-premises, hybrid, and cloud systems. It handles migrations at petabyte-scale, ensuring minimal disruption and eliminating the complexities associated with traditional data migration processes.

Preserve Data Integrity During Migration

Up to 80% of data migrations fail to achieve their business objectives due to poor data quality, resulting in operational disruptions and cost overruns. With built-in policy-based management, StorageX ensures data is migrated with integrity. Access controls and file permissions are maintained, repermissioned, or remapped during the migration process, ensuring that security and access control policies are not compromised.

Namespace Management for Smooth Cutover

70% of data center migrations experience significant time delays or unplanned downtime, primarily due to insufficient planning and preparation (Gartner). StorageX’s namespace management abstracts the physical storage environment into a logical view, allowing for automated cutovers. During migration, it automatically updates DFS namespace links to ensure a seamless switch from the old to the new data destination without disruption.

Zero Downtime with Incremental Data Replication

Data downtime costs businesses an average of $5,600 per minute. StorageX offers incremental and automated data replication, ensuring that only new, modified, or locked files are replicated to the destination. This minimizes data loss and ensures that migration can proceed without impacting business operations.

Phased Migrations with Full Control

More than 50% of cloud migrations exceed their budgets, overrun migration windows, and/or lead to unforeseen enterprise disruptions (Gartner). StorageX allows phased migrations by creating baseline and incremental copies of your data, ensuring a controlled migration process. This flexibility ensures data remains available throughout the transition, while reducing risks associated with large-scale migrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the StorageX product able to control the use of network bandwidth?

Yes. Our Universal Data Engine (UDE) can be throttled to use only a specified amount of bandwidth.

How does the StorageX product control policy threading?

The StorageX UDE automatically creates a threadpool based on the number of processor cores that are provided on the UDE server.

Is Microsoft SQL Server bundled with StorageX?

The full version of Microsoft SQL Server is not bundled with StorageX. Smaller projects can leverage the free-of-charge Microsoft SQL Server Express deployment, but larger projects will require Microsoft SQL Server Standard/Enterprise. Licenses for SQL are provided by the customer.

Is SQL Server installed locally on the StorageX server?

SQL Server can be installed locally on the StorageX server, or you can configure your StorageX installation to connect to a managed SQL Server instance.

Which object storage platforms are supported for StorageX Replication?

StorageX supports replicating data to AWS S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) S3, Hitachi Content Platform (HCP), NetApp StorageGrid, Dell Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS), IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS), and most other S3-compliant platforms.

What are the SQL Server database requirements? How many tables?

The StorageX installation will create the database and all its associated tables. Our product cannot use a pre-created database.

What is required to allow StorageX to create the database?

Our service account user must have database creator privileges, as with the dbcreator role, on the SQL instance that is provided.

Can database creator privileges be removed?

Yes, database creator privileges can be removed after installation. However, database creator privileges may be required for a future upgrade.

Can SQL Server Express be upgraded?

Yes, SQL Server Express can be upgraded to SQL Server Standard or Enterprise.
