ENTERPRISE STORAGE & DATA MIGRATION

Move the data. Preserve the service.

Dedicated engineering for legacy-to-modern storage migrations, data-center transitions and platform refresh programs.

STORAGE MODERNIZATION

From legacy frames to the next storage platform.

GraceITS can support EMC/Dell EMC and heterogeneous enterprise storage transitions, including migration from legacy arrays to new frames or a customer-selected target platform. The exact replication and cutover method is selected after source/target compatibility and application requirements are validated.

Discoverhosts • LUNs • paths • capacity • dependencies
Protectreplication • rollback • validation • change control
Cut overwaves • multipath • zoning • application checks

Array-to-Array Migration

Legacy frame to new-frame planning and execution with host mapping, capacity reconciliation and workload wave management.

Replication & Data Movement

Select appropriate vendor-supported replication, host-based copy or application-aware data movement based on RPO/RTO and compatibility.

SAN / NAS Transition

Zoning, LUN presentation, multipathing, mount/export validation, path failover checks and coordinated host cutovers.

Validation & Reconciliation

Capacity, filesystem, mount, path, application and data-integrity checks before and after migration, with exception tracking.

Dedicated Migration Resource

Experienced resources can be assigned for discovery, migration waves, execution support, reporting and post-cutover stabilization under an SOW.

Storage-to-Cloud Path

When the destination is cloud, the migration plan can include AWS, Azure or GCP storage targets, connectivity, staging and validation.

RUNBOOK-DRIVEN CUTOVER

A storage move should be boring on migration night.

We emphasize readiness checks and repeatable procedures so production cutover is execution of a tested plan rather than live discovery.

  • Source/target inventory and capacity mapping
  • Host HBA, multipath and OS compatibility checks
  • Fabric zoning and target presentation plan
  • Replication/copy monitoring and delta validation
  • Application owner signoff and outage sequencing
  • Backout / rollback checkpoints
  • Post-cutover path and performance verification
  • Decommission / cleanup plan after acceptance
Need a storage migration engineer?

Tell us the source frame, target platform, data volume and migration window.

We will help structure the discovery and cutover approach, then provide project or dedicated-resource pricing.
