ESG Lab Validates Avere Data Migration and Replication Techologies

Avere
Systems, Inc. announced that ESG
Lab has validated the performance of the functionality of its FXT
Edge Filers.

This hands-on testing report confirms
the power of FlashMove and FlashMirror features, which make
transparent data migration and replication easy across heterogeneous
NAS arrays in local as well as remote environments.

ESG Tests Avere With NAS Devices From EMC and NetApp
ESG accessed data residing on different
NAS devices, including NetApp and EMC Isilon, and created a
cloud-based target for DR. The report highlights how the Avere global
namespace and data migration capabilities give administrators the
ability to add, remove and manage storage devices from multiple
vendors and replicate data from one site to another.

Findings include:

• Ease of Data Movement – ESG Lab
  was able to move data across the test environment.

• DR – ESG Lab created a mirror to
  a simulated storage cloud with 150ms latency.

• Management – ESG Lab found that
  configuration and management were built into the GUI, making tasks
  simple and fast.

"With Avere’s FlashMove and
FlashMirror functionality, organizations gain the flexibility to
select NAS arrays based on price or feature set without worrying
about data portability," said Vinny Choinski, senior lab
analyst, ESG Lab.
