. In addition to providing a viewpoint on Incipient Data Migration software, this paper takes an in-depth look at the business drivers that result in an increase in the number of data migrations performed by companies today, as well as the direct and indirect costs associated with data migrations. It also highlights the challenges associated with coordinating the cross management domain interactions associated with the end-to-end data miration workflow.

This paper will help you understand the benefits companies achieve by implementing iNSP software in a Cisco MDS 9000 based SAN environment. iNSP leverages Cisco’s industry leading MDS 9000 SAN switches and includes storage-related services such as non-disruptive data migration, automated storage provisioning and point-in-time copy services. iNSP runs natively on Cisco MDS 9000 Storage Services Modules (SSMs) that are designed to work with intelligent fabric applications. With SAN storage rapidly growing in capacity and complexity each year, the need to automate SAN management tasks, increase utilization, and reduce storage and storage management costs will become a requirement in most enterprise environments.

This paper provides an introduction of how iNSP software delivers non-disruptive data mobility services for SAN environments. Data mobility is a broad term, but commonly used throughout the storage industry. Non-disruptive data mobility is defined as the ability to adaptively and fluidly move, copy and share data without any application or host disruption or downtime. This paper also discusses the subject of "data migration", a commonly associated event of data mobility. Data migration involves the movement of data from one physical storage array to another. It also provides a comparison of traditional approaches of data migration to an innovative new solution by Incipient.
