Cirrus Data To Be Showcased at the Pure//Accelerate Event

Data Migration to Pure Storage

Cirrus Data Solutions, a provider of non-intrusive storage migration solutions (CDS DMS) for enterprise and cloud data centers, will be showcasing its DMS (Data Migration Server) technologies at the Pure//Accelerate event, starting Monday, March 14, 2016 in San Francisco, CA. DMS is the premier data migration appliance for fibre channel SAN. Cirrus Data will be demonstrating DMS on the show floor, as well as presenting technical sessions to demonstrate the fundamental technologies the product uses in advanced data storage, data migration, and other enterprise storage related functions.

The demonstration of DMS migration will include the complete automated migration process from existing storage to Pure Storage, including:

• Transparent insertion to existing storage configuration

• Automatic storage configuration discovery

• Simple migration session creation

• Automatic destination LUN creation in Pure Storage system, and assignment to DMS

• Zero-Impact migration

• Automatic storage provisioning to the new Pure Storage system after completion of migration

For the past several years, DMS has been deployed around the globe and has migrated many petabytes of data. It has earned the reputation of having the best functionality, scalability, reliability, and usability. In addition to data migration, it provides extensive management options, such as auto-allocation of new destination LUNs, and auto-provisioning which transfers the SAN configuration from the old storage to the new storage, eliminating most of the tedious, error-prone manual operations normally involved with data migration projects.

As an added benefit, systems with DMS inserted are immediately provided the most complete picture of the storage configuration, including all the hosts and initiators, storage and targets, LUNs and LUN assignments, with all paths, as well as real-time I/O information for each element.

About Cirrus Data Solutions Inc.
Headquartered in Long Island, New York, CDS is a developer of software for data migrations and caching appliances for enterprise data centers. CDS appliances are licensed through a growing network of systems integrators and partners including IBM, Datalink, Fujitsu, T-Systems, ePlus, and many others. The team holds 23 patents, with the most recent one being granted by the US PTO on January 2016 (# 9,229,647) for an extension of CDS’ Transparent Datapath Intercept (U.S. Patent # 8,255,538), a technology that allows CDS appliances to deploy in a SAN without downtime and without requiring any changes to the hosts, fabric (zoning) and storage (LUN masking).

Tier-1 storage vendors and professional services teams are using CDS DMS for storage migration projects in mission critical enterprise environments. DMS is ideal for use cases including: local storage migration (storage refresh), remote data center migration (DC consolidation or move), and physical to virtual (legacy to cloud transformation) conversions. No downtime is required throughout the deployment and migration process. With the pMotion capability (US Patent Pending), the workload can be migrated to new storage while DMS stays in place to emulate the old storage, thereby deferring the cut-over downtime indefinitely.
