The Hidden Costs of Data Migration
http://cwflyris.computerworld.com/t/3148263/158206237/108504/0/
This white paper will outline the factors that are driving data
migration and examine the hidden costs that may be encountered when data
is moved. When replacing or consolidating systems and meeting constantly
increasing capacity needs, data must be migrated from one place to
another; it’s become a routine task in most IT departments. However,
with business and operational needs dictating that critical systems be
available 24/7/365 and the complexity that results from non-commoditized
and heterogeneous environments, data migration has become a task that is
both increasingly important and increasingly difficult.
