1. Summary

This product bulletin announces the availability and release of the SAN Heterogeneous Data Migration Service (SAN HDM). The SAN HDM is a comprehensive data migration service which employs NetApp Professional Services delivery methodology and data migration best practices across multi-vendor NAS storage infrastructures.

The SAN Heterogeneous Data Migration Service is a Professional Service focused on moving data at the block level from one or more NetApp or third-party storage devices to one or more NetApp or third-party SAN storage devices. During the delivery, this service may redirect all storage I/O to any new device(s) involved in the migration.

The SAN Heterogeneous Data Migration Service supports a set of migration tools, and provides the required information to help make the best tool selection based on a defined set of criteria, including allowable downtime, amount and type of data, data change rate, tolerance for agents, etc. 

2. What’s New

 

This SAN HDM Service makes use of an all-new formalized approach to performing data migrations. A rich set of pre-sales and post-sales collateral, including questionnaires, scoping/sizing tools, and delivery design and implementation guides, is provided to design and implement data migrations using highly structured methods. This rich set of documentation helps Sales and pre-sales understand customer needs and engage with Professional Services early on to make sure that the SAN HDM is delivered consistently, cost-effectively, and reliably to customers worldwide.
