Data Migrations
Data migrations are mundane, risky and costly and can be triggered by many events: server consolidation, storage consolidation, infrastructure upgrades, data center relocation or an M&A activity. Most IT professionals would agree that 80% of the complexity, risk and cost associated with data migrations are at the planning (pre) and verification (post) phases.
How to streamline Data Migrations with Aprigo NINJA
Step 2: Analyze storage capacity usage: Use Aprigo NINJA to understand how the storage environment is being utilized, what type of files exist and how much, which areas are running out space and what data should be excluded from the migration because it’s not business related or stale.
Step: 3: Take a snapshot of your data permissions: Use Aprigo NINJA to capture the state of your entire access rights, including: who has access to what and what is accessible to whom. Use this knowledge to:
- Compare the pre and post data migration status to make sure permissions weren’t unintentionally changed during the copy operation
- Fix any overly permissive areas on your file servers and NAS devices
