Fortune 500 Mining Company migrates 250 TB to Azure in 16 days with Data Dynamics

A Fortune 500 multinational mining company faced escalating data center costs and the challenge of migrating 250 terabytes of legacy data, 84% of which was cold data. To consolidate its infrastructure and achieve significant cost savings, the company turned to Data Dynamics. Data Dynamics' Mobility software was utilized to facilitate the migration to Microsoft Azure.

Data Dynamics implemented a free, automated migration through the Azure File Migration Program. The solution efficiently scanned and moved tens of billions of files from two data centers to Azure File Share with minimal business disruption. This resulted in the entire 250 TB being migrated in just 16 days, a process described as three times faster with ten times the productivity. The Fortune 500 mining company achieved substantial cost savings, enhanced data management, and optimized its infrastructure.
