Datadobi, known for migration and data management ambitions, says the CBX agency has moved its data from an end-of-life NetApp system to a new one, using DobiMigrate migration software. It involved all of CBX’s client and internal business production data housed across two geographically dispersed locations in Minneapolis and New York City. Don Piraino, IT Manager, CBX, said: ”Typically, we use NetApp SnapMirror, but we knew it wasn’t the answer for this level of a migration. With DobiMigrate, we finished in weeks, rather than in months, with not even one hiccup.”

ionir has bagged a US patent for its system and method for operating a storage system. It represents Ionir’s core architecture for its container native storage (CNS) technology: a Kubernetes-native, software defined, data services platform. Current storage systems and methods don’t enable users to store, retrieve or manipulate data in a storage system based on the logical context of the data. Typically, to store data in or retrieve from a storage system, users will need to specify a reference – such as a file name or physical location like a disc. Most CNS solutions still require complex backup, snapshot and restore. ionir is the only CNS technology that enables instant movement of data to/from any cluster, anywhere – and allows instant access to any point in time.
