Case Study: an international independent IT services company achieves 4× faster, secure WAN data migration with Solution-Soft's SafeVelocity

International Independent It Services Company - Customer Case Study

An international independent IT services company with more than 14,000 employees needed to centralize data from 40 locations and decommission over 100 OS/2 servers, but faced limited weekend transfer windows (24 hours), slow WAN links (256 kb–T1), and directories with thousands of files. Conventional tools like Robocopy and xcopy were unreliable or took more than 48 hours, so the firm engaged Solution-Soft and tested its SafeVelocity WAN data migration tool.

Solution-Soft delivered a custom build of SafeVelocity that used on-the-fly compression, username/password encryption, block-level checksums and auto-resume to reliably move large, complex data sets over unreliable links; transfers dropped from over 48 hours with competing tools to under 12 hours (a 4x improvement), and an initial 1.72 GB migration completed in about 3 hours over a 256 kb link versus an expected 17–30 hours with other technologies. Solution-Soft’s SafeVelocity enabled faster, more secure migrations and met the customer’s 24-hour weekend window.
