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?”.

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…

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…
