Case Study: DTI achieves a rapid, low-disruption NAS migration with Datadobi DobiMigrate

DobiMigrate Provides Performance and Scalability Needed After Business Acquisition

DTI, a leading legal process outsourcing company, needed to rapidly migrate more than 400 TB of file data and 3.6 billion files after acquiring Merrill Corporation’s Legal Solutions business. The data had to move from NetApp CDOT 8.2.2 in St. Paul, Minnesota to Dell EMC Isilon in Atlanta under tight budget, time, and business continuity constraints. Datadobi’s DobiMigrate for NAS migrations was selected to help address the scale and complexity of the project.

With Datadobi’s DobiMigrate, DTI completed a fast, successful migration with little downtime and no business disruption, while keeping critical data intact and consolidating files into one geographic location. The solution was deployed virtually with no hardware required, and DTI validated data integrity using MD5 checksums on source and target files. Datadobi also helped keep overall project costs contained and met the company’s need for a scalable, cost-effective migration.
