As Heraclitus said — “The Only Constant in Life Is Change.”
The same can be can be said for data migrations, change is the constant driver for moving data. Movebot is deployed to help action this change, some of the key drivers are:
Mergers and Acquisitions — successful M&A’s are well managed and change is implicit, when it comes to migrating two or more organisations into one platform, often in the cloud — Google, Dropbox, Box, Egnyte, SharePoint and often between the same platform Workspace to Workspace. There’s often tight timelines that need to be adhered to including the data migration which needs to happen quickly, safely and securely. Movebot is ideally placed to carry out these migrations as SOC2 and Cyber Essentials Certified the tool is safe and secure. In addition Movebot never stores data at rest, increasing security as well as speed of the migration. Ensuring file data migrations are executed quickly with minimal impact on users.
Platform consolidation — It’s great in the early days, each department gets to choose the tools that they prefer Dropbox / Google / Egnyte for the creative team, SharePoint and Box for the business team, Amazon S3, Wasabi and Backblaze for the engineering teams. Over time the monthly subscriptions start to mount up and there’s a bit of confusion about who’s using what and why, its at this point that the company decides on a preferred platform. Movebot enables the inter company transfer of file data or block storage to the chosen platform. Managing this change can be as challenging as a M&A, but again the key is speed and security to minimise user impact.
A new way of collaborating — As platforms like Dropbox, Google, Egnyte, Box, O365 develop adding benefits that enable users to collaborate in new ways. Companies often choose one platform over another, but of course they don’t want to lose any data, driving the need to move data between platforms. Movebot enables this move between platforms as a cloud agnostic tool Movebot connects to over 30 cloud platforms.
Cloud transformation — Businesses are constantly evaluating the use of cloud platforms as they evaluate the cost benefit of maintaining and scaling file servers and accessibility. In some cases all the data may not need to go to one destination and can be split, between working data moving to a collaboration platform and archived files moving to block storage. Movebot enables businesses to scan their data, providing insights and visibility and allowing decisions to be made on where that data should be migrated too.
Movebot is a modern cloud first fully scalable, secure file data migration tool designed to be easy to use and migrate from a few TB to PB of data in a fast and efficient way. Movebot is cloud agnostic with connection to over 30 cloud platforms, including Dropbox (Platform Partner), Google, Egnyte, Box, Wasabi, Backblaze, SharePoint and more.
