Interstate Data Migration: Netapp Storage

An industry leading fabless semiconductor company needed to execute an interstate (California to Texas) data migration project which represented the transfer of more than 4 million customer records. The initial architecture and plans were estimating that the data transfers would take as much as three days of down time for the migration and would require months of environment preparation.

4Base Technology engineers where brought in to help re-architect the storage and to develop a migration plan that would reduce the time and complexity of the migration. After reviewing the business needs and current infrastructure, 4Base consultants re-architected the entire migration solution, including new designs and procedures, in only 4 days. Implementation and execution of the migration began within two weeks of the engagement starting and the total amount of down time for the entire cutover was less than 15 minutes. 

With the help of 4Base Technology, this challenging storage migration became little more than a "check box" item in a very complicated list of other tasks that needed to be performed as part of an overall infrastructure data expansion and reorganization.
