FAQ
What’s the pricing of CTERA NAS Migration?
CTERA Migrate is included as a built-in feature with CTERA’s Edge Filer and does not carry any additional costs.
How does CTERA handle migrating complex file systems?
That’s what our system is designed for! We automate the data migration process and preserve existing shares, directory structure and permissions, ensuring a seamless transition.
Does migration involve downtime?
The migration process is designed to minimize downtime. It begins with a discovery pass to produce filesystem analytics, followed by a series of delta migration passes. When ready for cutover, the migration source shares are transitioned to a read-only state during off-hours. A final quick delta migration pass is then performed, and user access to the CTERA-based destination shares can be enabled, ensuring minimal downtime.
How can I ensure the validity of the migration?
The migration process includes a verification step that compares file hashes to ensure data integrity. Additionally, a migration report is provided with those hashes, offering a fully regulatory-compliant chain of custody, giving you confidence that the migration is accurate and complete.
Can I monitor the migration process in real-time?
Sure, with our real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities, you can track the progress of your data migration and ensure everything is proceeding as planned.
