Transparent Data Migration
The Cisco MDS Data Mobility Manager (DMM) is a storage area network (SAN), fabric-based software application that enables movement of blocks of data from a source device to a destination device. Such movement is typically needed to address array lease expiration events, capacity planning and implementation of tiered storage strategies.
The Cisco MDS DMM is implemented on the storage services module (SSM) line card of the Cisco MDS 9000 family switch running Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS Software Version 3.2, or later.
Capabilities and Value
The Cisco MDS DMM’s key value proposition is its transparent insertion. This allows administrators to complete data movement without any configuration changes to the host, the SAN, or the array. Data movement can now be completed with minimal disruption to the application, and without need for support from systems, database and applications administrators.
In addition to the basic data movement capability, Cisco MDS DMM comes with several control knob features such as rate control and verification capability. All of these capabilities can be controlled from an easy to use GUI wizard that truly simplifies the task of migrating data.
