Every week we receive inquiries from NetApp customers who are
not going to upgrade to cDot. They are looking to extend the life span of their
7 Mode Filers until they can find a viable solution to migrate to or they just
want to keep their current infrastructure running for the foreseeable
future. Sometimes organizations just
need more time to decide what to do, and often there isn’t the staff with the
expertise available to handle intricacies of a data migration.
The forced migration to cDot has caused NetApp customers to
reevaluate what they should do as new technologies become mainstream. Data
migrations are rarely easy, and often take longer than predicted. Time is money.
Are you
getting off the NetApp Train at the cDot station, or are you staying on-board
the NetApp train to the next stop? There are lots of options available and over
the next few weeks we will review some of them on this blog to help you make
your decisions.
