1.  Summary

 

This Product Bulletin announces the availability of the 2Gbps-to-4Gbps Technology Data Migration Service.  This service is designed to homogeneously (i.e. NetApp to NetApp) migrate data on to newly deployed 4Gbps storage system shelves/loops/disk drives from 2Gbps hardware.  This is a fixed-price service based upon data migrated to 4Gbps shelves (with 4Gbps controllers, loops, and disk drives) from 2Gbps shelves (can be >1).

NetApp Professional Services will assess, plan, design, implement, test, and complete your entire 2Gbps-to-4Gbps Data Migration project. Our experienced Professional Services staff has helped thousands of customers across the globe successfully migrate data.

 

2.  What’s New

 

What’s new about this service?  Easy to Attach, Efficient to Order and Effectively Delivered.  This new professional service is designed to easily quote and attach a data migration service to any customer purchase of new 4Gbps hardware from NetApp.  It does not require any interaction with Professional Services Engagement Managers to scope the effort (no SOW), as long as there are not more than 20 shelves of data being migrated, and the migration is between 2Gbps and 4Gbps NetApp-only hardware.  Simply Quote, Buy, Migrate.

4.  Product Information

The service pricing is based upon the number of new 4Gbps shelves which data will be migrated to.  That is to say, that if a customer purchases new 4Gbps shelves (with 4Gbps loops, controllers, and disk drives), their data will be migrated to those new shelves for a low per shelf price.  The price is less than the industry leader charges and provides for a simple quote/attach/migrate strategy to get new 4Gbps hardware up and running with your customer’s data.
