One of the many stressful factors involved in a successful data migration or consolidation is ensuring that each server in your current SAN environment will be compatible with your new platform. To achieve successful connectivity in a new SAN environment, hardware vendors request that servers be operating under certified and tested standards; however, keeping track of every server in your SAN infrastructure is not an easy task. Every SAN-attached server is configured over time and usually only upgraded as required. Something as simple as a software inconsistency between old and new environments could cause a server to crash after a data center migration or consolidation.

Don’t compromise the success of your infrastructure project.

SANpulse solutions provide a detailed analysis and blueprint report of productivity impediments to ensure that you understand all of your system’s supportability requirements prior to data migration or consolidation.

During remediation discovery and analysis, a SANpulse architect uses SANlogics software to collect and correlate data that is then compiled into a comprehensive and transparent report of your current infrastructure. This report not only includes details on all switches, bus adaptors, drivers, and hosts, but it also validates this information against both the vendor’s support matrix and your company’s internal storage support matrix. Following the analysis of your infrastructure, SANpulse also delivers a compatibility report identifying all required upgrades—information that will enable a seamless transition to your new SAN platform.
