Virtual server migration tools

"AutoVirt automates the process of migrating data from physical to virtual machines without client disruption."
The Cloud As Primary Storage
Network Computing (01/19/2010)
"A downside to many NAS global file systems is that vendors only support their own systems. Stand alone file virtualization like those from F5 EMCs Rainfinity and AutoVirt could have a role to play here."
File Virtualization Evolving: Q&A with Klavs Landberg
Virtual Strategy Magazine (01/19/2010)
"File virtualization does not stop there. Now you can move data freely ââ¬â you can tier it replicate it or archive it. Bottom line: Server virtualization is for consolidating applications. File virtualization enables and provides a complete storage management solution."
What is Cloud Appropriate Data?
InformationWeek (01/15/2010)
"File virtualization systems like those from AutoVirt and F5 can provide much of the same analytics and move the data to the gateway for you setting up a transparent link. Knowing more than just an access date is critical. Size of the file for example may effect how aggressive you are with the transfer to the cloud. Small files you may want to archive right away since there is limited bandwidth needed to transfer them. Large files you may want to wait a little extra time to move them to make sure they are good and cold first."
Good data storage technology wont fix bad storage habits
SearchStorageChannel.com (01/15/2010)

The best NAS strategy: Enhance customer systems by addressing three key problems
SearchStorageChannel.com (01/11/2010)
"Typically however users and storage administrators want more seamless integration. This is where file virtualization can be an ideal add-on for NAS environments. As we describe in our article "What is File Virtualization?"systems from companies such as F5 and AutoVirt allow for the seamless movement of files to differing tiers of storage."
Keys to Cloud Storage Success
Network Computing (01/08/2010)
"Second look at how you are going to get data to the cloud. File virtualization solutions like those from F5 and AutoVirt that can move file data between multiple vendors solutions should also be able to move data to either a cloud gateway or eventually directly to the cloud by supporting the cloud vendors API sets. "
Beware Of Cloud Transfer Costs
InformationWeek (12/18/2009)
"The third step is to make sure that the data you are moving to the cloud has reached a certain level of inactivity. This can be done with storage analysis tools or it can be done with file virtualization tools like those from F5 and AutoVirt. In the file virtualization case these solutions provide a transparent movement layer that makes managing another tier of storage transparent."
How to use NAS and block storage to improve data storage management
SearchStorage.com (Australia & U.S.) (12/12/2009)
"Without talking specifically about storage technologies lets talk about something that you might apply to move your data and optimize your storage better today. Those are typically data classification and/or file virtualization tools ââ¬â things like the F5 Networks Acopia or EMCRainfinity. Or theres a relatively new company to that field of file virtualization AutoVirt Inc. with solutions targeted more at the small- and medium-sized business (SMB)."
Real Benefits from Internal Clouds
ITBusinessEdge (12/09/2009)
"While its easy to get caught up in arguments over which is the "real" cloud internal or external the fact is that most enterprises will probably end up with both says Klavs Landberg founder of file virtualization specialist AutoVirt. That means the real discussion should be about the best way to integrate the two to produce a single smooth-running dynamic environment. Not surprisingly he says the best way to do this is with an integrated virtual storage environment that allows data to be moved between clouds."
2010 Prediction: Klavs Landberg
Virtual Strategy Magazine (12/07/2009)
"With file virtualization facilitating the fluid exchange of data between resources you can easily optimize your storage environment and respond to changing demands on your companyââ¬â¢s data. As compliance guidelines change energy costs grow and data continues to build we must achieve this level of flexibility. Seamless integration between internal and external infrastructures will be critical."

File Virtualization The Ultimate Cloud Getaway?
"As we discussed in our white paper "Using Cloud Archive" moving data to a cloud archive is going to method a way to analyze that data for qualification for movement and a vehicle to get that data to the cloud. Many cloud providers like Iron Mountain and Nirvanix have established a mixed model cloud service where a gateway is placed in your data center. This gateway acts as a NAS to cloud translator and allows you to move data to the cloud as simply as moving data to a network mount point. This is where file virtualization systems from companies like F5 and AutoVirt come into play."

AutoVirt Version 3 Helps IT Manage Unstructured File Data On Windows Networks
ââ¬ÅAutoVirt v3.0 delivers a complete storage management and migration solution for unstructured Windows files that is both easy to use and affordableââ¬Â said Josh Klein president and CEO of AutoVirt. ââ¬ÅWhile designed and priced for the storage challenges faced by the mid-market it is an ideal solution for IT shops of all sizes as it targets universal pain points including over-provisioning and under- utilization of storage assets failed backups unexpected downtime overspending on resources hard-to-find data and difficulty retiring older assets in order to perform tech refreshes.ââ¬Â
"They have created a software based global name space focused solely on the Windows platform. 85% of unstructured data is on the Windows platform especially in AutoVirts target market; mid-market data centers. The product provides storage managers the ability to quickly and easily create a global name space. With the name space in place storage managers can move folders and files between the different Window shares transparently to the users."

"File virtualization can address storage capacity issues and benefit storage infrastructures containing data that needs to be accessed by multiple applications."
"Why its worth watching: The inefficiency of network-attached storage (NAS) usage patterns the rapid growth of data and even the economic downturn are all factors that could potentially help AutoVirt succeed according to an IDC profile on the vendor. Storage inefficiency will not be tolerated in a recession IDC notes. "Senior management will demand remediation that will include reorganization of network shares and resulting data migrations from one location to another the sweet spot of the AutoVirt solution" IDC says."

"Five Point Capital is deploying AutoVirts software to drive its reduction from 50 physical servers onto four ESXi servers to minimize energy use by reducing server sprawl power and cooling and to adhere to stricter California state environmental guidelines."
"AutoVirt - www.autovirt.com - Go download their free AutoClone software. Robocopy in windows sucks as most know but this stuff rocks. Our giant IT department recently had to copy all of our Exchange mailboxes (all 34) for one reason or another and Robocopy was taking 2 hours per. The AutoClone utility did them in about 8 seconds. (Not true but my dudes told me it was 10X+ faster at least)."
