DATA MIGRATION

The creation and management of valuable assets in a digital archive requires a long term perspective. Successful archives are a carefully considered combination of software, hardware and process. QStar’s 3-2-1 Best Practice and our technology independent platform architecture are designed specifically for the unique long term needs of a digital archive.

With information retained for decades, any archive strategy will include the periodic migration of data from older, lower capacity storage media and systems to the latest technology. To ensure the integrity and authenticity of data, the migration of digital files must be a carefully controlled and verifiable process.

 
Common Factors Driving Migration
• Hardware Obsolescence
 Storage media, drives, robotics, servers and connectivity
• Software, File System, File Format Obsolescence
  Management software upgrades, file format and file system conversion
• Operating System Obsolescence
  OS upgrades that force archive refresh
  
 
  
The storage technology and file system independence of a QStar archive platform facilities periodic data migration by eliminating any proprietary interfaces or complex export operations that can slow the migration process and place digital assets at risk. QStar has develop strategies and file system support for other archive vendors including EMC’s DiskXtender and Plasmon’s Diamond software to simplify and speed the migration process. In addition, QStar offers custom migration services to help companies plan, deploy and verify the secure movement of data from legacy storage technology.

Using a selection of automated tools and proven procedures, QStar works with our customers to develop strategies for efficient data migration that minimizes the impact on IT infrastructure and protects the integrity of archive data.
