What is SoftNAS Lift and Shift Migration?
SoftNAS provides live migration of production data and workloads and “keeps content up-to-date when moving data to the cloud, between data centers and/or distributing it to remote locations.”
SoftNAS FlexFiles leverages Apache NiFi and other pre-built data integration processors to integrate and transform 24 different types of data. According to the press release, customers will be able to “tackle massively complex data integration projects combining file systems, Hadoop, Redshift, HTTP(S), Web Services, SQL/NoSQL, XML, S3/Blob Objects and Custom Data Integrations.”
SoftNAS Lift and Shift File Migration
It’s a key feature of SoftNAS Cloud NAS, enabling users to migrate data from one platform to another, whether from on-premise to cloud or between different cloud providers while maintaining continuous synchronization. SoftNAS® is a Cloud Data orchestration product, focusing on simplifying pain points within the marketplace.
As businesses continue to look for ways to increase efficiency and improve their bottom line, more and more look to the cloud. With increased flexibility, and the ability to cut out the high cost of hardware and hardware maintenance, the cloud is seen as the solution of the future, even though many are uncertain how to implement it.
Buurst hopes to make navigating the cloud a great deal easier, so that organizations can leverage the simplified business continuity strategies, and reduce infrastructure, maintenance, and service costs, without requiring advanced software and platform training.
Lift and Shift Durability Model
A key feature of a strong migration solution is data resilience or the certainty that the data will reach the target with complete integrity, regardless of bandwidth/service interruptions. The safety of your data upon entry and upon exit of your Lift and Shift instances is of paramount importance. Lift and Shift’s resilience is made possible by this system of records and UIDs, functioning as a persistent write-ahead log and content repository.
Our underlying processors provide the ability to track the data via these records from entry to output and provide guaranteed data lineage. Should a transfer process be interrupted, each processor is checked for these records to determine where the interruption occurred, and automatically resumes the process from the last successful transfer process. The content repository is designed to act as a rolling buffer of history. Data is removed only as it ages off the content repository or as space it needed. In the event of a network failure, the content repository enables Lift and Shift to always continue the data migration once the failure is resolved at the exact point of failure.
Lift and Shift Data Migration Solution
Built-in to SoftNAS is our dynamic point-and-click Lift & Shift wizard, enabling the migration of live data to the cloud even while in production without any development coding changes. The addition of our patented UltraFast technology ensures rapid data transfers up to 20x faster, even over noisy networks with latency challenges.
