Filesystem Analytics and Discovery

ANALYTICS The Simplicity Illusion Have you ever been put into a position of having to solve a file migration problem without the faintest clue on where to begin? Often this is the case when storage admins or IT staff are thrust into being asked to solve seemingly simple data migrations only to find out it’s […]

Heterogeneous and Vendor Independent NAS Replication. Is it Magic?

At a recent storage conference, an attendee approached our booth asking about Datadobi’s NAS replication solution, DobiReplicate. As we discussed its ability to replicate data between different vendor platforms, they immediately responded with “Well – heterogeneous– that’s the magic word, isn’t it?”. And I began to wonder, is it truly a magic word? It’s not exactly […]

Using Hash Digests to Validate Data Copies

Whenever data is migrated or replicated between two systems, one of the most important activities to perform is validating the copy operation results.  It is an unfortunate reality that data gets corrupted either in transit, due to a bad disk write at the destination, or for other reasons.  No matter where the source of the […]

Introducing DobiMigrate CTA Bypass – Migration in Days, Not Weeks

The goal of the CTA has always been pretty straightforward, keep data that is meaningful to the business on high-speed, high-cost storage, and then use policies to transparently tier older, less-valuable data off to cheaper commodity storage [and then cloud storage].CTA accomplishes this by truncating the original file down to a very small pointer, often […]

If you have been involved in any discussion with someone from our team it’s unlikely that you walked away without the knowledge that we are “10x faster than other solutions that exist on the market today”. Where does that come […]

The Impact of Timestamps

The Impact of Timestamps After initial data seeding, Datadobi’s DobiMiner Suite (DobiMigrate, DobiReplicate, and DobiSync) compares timestamps on file system objects residing on both the source and destination platform. These comparisons determine whether full data copies or metadata copies are required when executing differential operations synchronizing content on  the source and destination platforms. Intelligent use of these […]

Performance is the issue. DobiMigrate is the solution.

Tool performance has become the accepted bottle neck in any NAS migration scenario. We’ve all spent the obligatory weekends, late nights and early mornings migrating data only to be hindered by data migration tools that make migrations problematic and exponentially increase level of effort hours. This begs the question; If time is money, why spend […]
