Data migration to ScaleIO

Hi Experts,

What are the options available to me to migrate the data from existing traditional SAN Array VMAX/VNX/3rd party to ScaleIO cluster ( ScaleIO Node/ScaleIO software on COTS)

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Stephen.

what do we recommend for over the WAN ? Can we expect any migration tools for migrating data from EMC/3rd party to scaleIO in ScaleIo v2.0/future versions.

I can think of a few options.  Using Datacore, you could map a ScaleIO lun to datacore and then present it out of datacore via Fibre Channel as a pass through device to the VNX SAN.  Then you could use VNX SAN Copy and do a bulk copy followed by one or more incremental copies.

Should work like a champ.

Ping me if you have more questions.  Here is a link for more info:

This is extremely good to know Paul. I will definitely call  you if additional info is required.

Two quick queries though:

1. Is Datacore one of EMC select partners ( I am not able to confirm this)

2. Does WWT partner with other SI's in the US for conducting migration activities like this.

Thanks in advance.

EMC is on the datacore support matrix, however I doubt that datacore is a partner is the EMC Select Program. Why would that be needed? WWT or phxds.com could provide pricing.

Yes to the 2nd question.
