●
Faster: A typical data migration process requires 10 to 21 days. During this time, multiple administrators must
work together to coordinate the downtime required at the beginning and end of the migration process, install
the necessary hardware, and perform the migration and cutover to the new device. Cisco DMM eliminates the
time required for interdepartmental coordination, new hardware installation (with its associated downtime), and
hardware removal after the migration. Add throughput of 1.5 TB per hour, and the data migration window is
reduced to just 5 days.

Easier: No rewiring or coordination between administrative staffs is required, so implementation is fast and
easy. Cisco DMM is storage-vendor independent and fault tolerant, providing a unified solution throughout a
heterogeneous environment and the assurance that applications will not be affected by any problems that may
arise during the migration. Storage administrators with less experience performing data migration can take
advantage of the Cisco Data Mobility Manager Planning and Design Service, offered by Cisco Advanced
Services. This service provides the proven expertise and practices needed to successfully deploy Cisco DMM
in a SAN fabric and helps empower storage administrators to successfully manage future migrations.

Less expensive: Customers typically lease storage equipment on 3- or 4-year cycles, so each year the data
on one-quarter to one-third of leased storage devices must be migrated. If a customer spends an average of
US$200,000 per year on migration services, the cost of using Cisco DMM is dramatically less than the 3-year
cost for these services. In addition, after the Cisco DMM license is purchased, it supports an unlimited number
of arrays, with no restriction on the amount of data moved.

and service innovation as customers address their data migration challenges.
Innovative Products
Cisco DMM is exceptional in its ability to transparently and nondisruptively redirect traffic from the host server to the
new storage location. The technology that supports this capability is called Fibre Channel Redirect. It is a core Cisco
MDS technology that is unique to Cisco and differentiates the Cisco DMM solution from all other data migration tools
available today.
