Brocade Data Migration Manager (DMM) provides a fast, non-disruptive, and easy-to-manage migration solution for heterogeneous environments.

As the need for block-level data migration becomes increasingly common, many IT organizations need to migrate data from one type of storage array to another and from one vendor array to another. As such, data migration carries an element of risk and often requires extensive planning. Powerful, yet easy to use, Brocade DMM enables these organizations to efficiently migrate block-level data and avoid the high cost of application downtime.

Because it is less disruptive, more flexible, and easier to plan for than traditional data migration offerings, Brocade DMM provides a wide range of advantages.

Residing on the SAN-based Brocade Application Platform, Brocade DMM features a migrate-and-remove architecture as well as "wire-once" setup that enables fast, simplified deployment in existing SANs. This approach helps organizations implement and manage data migration across SANs or WANs with minimal time and resource investment.

Utilizing the 4 Gbit/sec port speed and 1 million IOPS performance of the Brocade Application Platform, Brocade DMM migrates up to 128 volumes in parallel at up to five terabytes per hour. For maximum flexibility, it supports both offline and online data migration in Windows, HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX environments for storage arrays from EMC, HP, Hitachi, IBM, Network Appliance, SUN, and other vendors.

• Simplifies and accelerates block data migration during data center relocation or consolidation, array replacements, or ILM activities
• Migrates up to 128 LUNs in parallel at up to 5 terabytes per hour
• Performs online (as well as offline) migration without impacting applications, eliminating costly downtime
• Moves data between heterogeneous storage arrays from EMC, Hitachi, HP, IBM, Network Appliance, SUN, and other leading vendors
• Enables fast, seamless deployment in existing SAN fabrics through a "migrate-and-remove" architecture
• Automates multiple migration operations with easy start, stop, resume, and throttle control
• Utilizes an intuitive Windows management console or CLI scripting
