SMB Storage Virtualization

More small and midsize companies are expected to venture into x86 server virtualization this year, and for good business reasons.

They’ve seen how virtualization has helped enterprise companies reduce IT capital and data center energy costs, bring more dynamism to their IT environments and more efficiently meet business needs so that new initiatives get under way more quickly. Tech industry watchers say small and midsize companies may have an even greater opportunity than large enterprises to fully exploit the technology across their infrastructures.

If you are looking for a great storage array to get started inexpensively then come to NavigateStorage. We specialize in storage from the iStor 16TB for under $10,000 to the sky is the limit.

By utilizing Serial ATA disks, the iS316 enables compelling block-based network storage solutions such as primary storage, near line storage, disk-to-disk backup, and DAS replacement, along with high-capacity providing compelling total cost of ownership. Triple-redundant power supplies & fans for a highly reliable storage appliance.

Email Archive Migration

Email Archive Migration

The decision to move to a new e-mail or archiving service should not be constrained by the risk of losing data. Similarly the need to move users between different locations or archive products (e.g. as a result of a re-location or merger) should not threaten the accessibility or manageability of your corporate data.TransVault™ is a high-performance software application that securely migrates and consolidates e-mail and other related records from one environment to another, ensuring future accessibility - regardless of the chosen archive, messaging platform or storage medium.

Migration is fast and entirely transparent to users, eliminating the risk of downtime and significantly reducing the costs and IT overheads normally associated with moving large amounts of data.TransVault also avoids the costs and inconvenience of maintaining ‘islands of data’, allowing the lifecycle of information to be centrally managed and any e-discovery requests to be conducted against a single data repository.TransVault is the key to ensuring 100% data availability with 100% user transparency, whilst minimizing risks and costs to your business.

A Next-Generation Approach to Email Archiving

NavigateStorage, specializing in Email Aechiving presents:

A Next-Generation Approach to Email Archiving

Existing archiving solutions place heavy burdens on Exchange servers, relying on data capture methods like MAPI crawls and journaling – both of which can increase input/output per second (IOPS) on the Exchange server by up to 50%. Mimosa NearPoint for Microsoft Exchange incorporates an innovative data capture method called Continuous Application Shadowing™.

Continuous Application Shadowing instantly captures Exchange log files once they are committed to disk and stores them “off-host” on NearPoint. It is an application-intelligent process, which also blocks corruption from the back-up copy. All email content extracted from the log files is indexed and stored with single-instance storage. Furthermore, Continuous Application Shadowing captures complete mailbox information including calendar items, tasks, contacts, and item histories."

Data Migration made easy - windows management

Complete your project faster, with minimal downtime

Support pre-migration UNC names in shortcuts and embedded links

AutoVirt facilitates share-by-share migration, which means that there is no need to take an entire device offline during migration. AutoVirt breaks each migration job into share-sized increments. To preserve data integrity, files are held read-only while their parent shares are being migrated. As soon as a share is migrated, full read/write access is restored. The AutoVirt global namespace is updated with the new share location, and clients are automatically redirected to their share. Share-by-share migration drastically reduces downtime, and automatic client referrals eliminate post-project shortcut remapping.

To limit the time that large shares are held read-only, AutoVirt offers a pre-migration synchronization period. The sync period can be scheduled to recur as many times as you like. During the first sync period, AutoVirt copies all un-open files it finds, skipping the rest. Each recurring sync will copy any new files it finds un-open, and will synchronize changes at the source with files that have already been copied to the destination. The synchronization period will be reduced over time, until AutoVirt is syncing only a small number of changes between source and destination.

When you schedule the final migration, the share will be held read-only as final changes are synced from source to destination. When the sync is complete, clients are automatically redirected to the new share location read/write access is restored.
