Home/Data center & cloud/SAN / NAS Management & Migration

Storage fabricswithout the drama.

Design, zoning, multipathing, performance and capacity management for FC SANs and NAS — HPE 3PAR, Alletra and MSA on Brocade fabrics are our daily work — and online migration between arrays when it is time to refresh.

What we do

Storage is where outages become data loss. We design dual fabrics with correct zoning and multipathing, baseline array firmware, monitor latency and capacity, and plan refreshes before the array runs out of road.

When it is time to migrate — a new array, a new vendor, or a move to Ceph — we move data online using array replication or host-based mirroring, verify checksums, and cut over in planned windows.

How it runs

The engagement, step by step

01

Audit

We inventory what you run — hardware, hypervisors, storage, backups, network — and document the risks.

02

Blueprint

HLD/LLD with architecture, bill of materials, migration plan, budget and timeline, within 48 hours of the audit.

03

Build

Change-controlled implementation with MOPs, rehearsed cutovers and as-built drawings.

04

Operate

Monitoring, AMC or managed operations with monthly reports and quarterly reviews.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Which arrays do you support?
HPE 3PAR, Primera, Alletra and MSA in depth; Dell, NetApp and Pure through partner engineers; Ceph and ZFS for software-defined storage.
Can you migrate from a SAN to Ceph on Proxmox?
Yes. We plan the Ceph cluster, migrate VMs online and retire the array in stages.
Do you handle Brocade fabric upgrades?
Yes — firmware, zoning cleanup and fabric merges under change control.
