Crossroads SurePath™ FileMigrator Agent (FMA)

The FileMigrator Agent is a software solution that provides systematic migration of inactive and rarely used data on file servers to Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices.

Using FMA, storage capacity on active servers can be freed up ensuring a reduction in data backup volume. This migration is transparent to the user meaning inactive data is physically migrated but is still visible to the user. Thus, users can recall their data at anytime.

FileMigrator offers scalable, reliable and flexible migration of files as part of corporate/enterprise data consolidation efforts in the area of Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) in the network or within an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solution.

• Storage Consolidation
  In environments where each server in the network backs up its data on separate drives, the FileMigrator Agent pulls the data together at a central point for archiving. This central point can also serve as a bridge upon the failure of any server.
   
• Cluster Ready
  The FileMigrator Agent supports Windows file servers in a cluster, thus enabling seamless archival and retrieval of information in a highly available, high-performance environment.
   
• Flexible Migration Policies
  Individual data management policies can be user-generated via a graphical user interface (GUI), command line or API. User-defined criteria for migration includes: File size, file age, access date and attributes, as well as the exclusion of special files.
