Use AutoVirt to Upgrade Your Windows Storage
The AutoVirt platform frees IT departments to upgrade Windows file storage - without disrupting user access to data. AutoVirt embodies a complete set of logic that is activated by policies you create to automate storage upgrade projects, so you can:
  • upgrade file servers
  • replace a failing server
  • retire aging devices
  • change storage vendors

No more maintenance windows.
How many weekends will it take to complete your upgrade project? How many users will be denied access to business-critical data during this time? AutoVirt eliminates the need for maintenance windows by virtualizing user access to files, so you can execute necessary storage upgrade projects without disrupting end-users.

No more unplanned downtime.
To upgrade storage devices, you must move data from one device to another. And, when you move this data, you must update all client shortcuts and ACL assignments manually. What happens if there is an error in this process? Unplanned downtime - and it can be costly. With AutoVirt, network files are available to end-users even during the migration progress (open files are converted to read-only access), so you can upgrade to better storage devices without worrying about an unplanned outage or project running over deadline.

Drastically reduce project completion time.

Making room for an upgrade project can be tough. You know that the return will be worth your effort, but when are you going to find the time to execute against your plan? The inherent simplicity of AutoVirt's web-based interface and automation technology built into every aspect of AutoVirt's architecture mean that planning and executing your project will take just a fraction of the time you allotted. Get up and running with AutoVirt, author your upgrade policies, and schedule your project in less than one day!
