AutoVirt chosen by AVG
Jun 10, 2010 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) --
File virtualisation and data management solutions provider AutoVirt Inc
announced on Thursday it has been selected by anti-virus company AVG
Technologies to virtualise and then non-disruptively migrate its data.
No financial details were disclosed.
According to the company, the project will take more than 3TB of
business critical corporate file data from an EMC-based storage area
network (SAN) to a new Dell/EMC CX4-240 SAN, in order to support future
data growth, as well as serve as the underpinning of AVG's data
protection, disaster recovery (DR) and long-term archiving strategy.
AVG explored various data migration tools and concluded that AutoVirt
offered the easiest and most efficient solution for conducting
zero-impact, error-free data migrations, even during peak load
processing periods, the company said.
AutoVirt's software-only approach will enable the anti-virus company to
seamlessly introduce it into their EMC SAN infrastructure. Once
installed, AVG will use AutoVirt to easily virtualise its storage
environment, in order to efficiently distribute corporate data across
both SANs.
In addition, AutoVirt's automated data replication capabilities will
help AVG to complete an upcoming DR initiative which will involve using
AutoVirt to copy and move data to a new remote location and then
provide ongoing support for the company's new DR procedures. AVG also
plans an archiving project for the long-term preservation of back-end
corporate data, for which AutoVirt will also be leveraged.
