“The AutoVirt solution will help mid-range IT Managers to tackle one of their most prevalent and persistent datacenter challenges – Windows data migration."

-  Jeff Hill, Senior Research Analyst, Data Management and Storage, AberdeenGroup

“For mid-range IT shops, data migration is typically completed manually, offline, at night and on weekends, and can be highly vulnerable to human error.  Until now, there hasn't been a practical solution available at an affordable entry point.  Thus, Autovirt's solution will offer welcomed relief.”

-  Mike Kahn, Managing Director, The Clipper Group

"High-end file virtualization providers have nurtured the market - moving from the early adopters into the mainstream enterprise with demonstrable value, especially in file.  Unfortunately, many of these products are too expensive or complicated for smaller to mid size organizations.  AutoVirt is delivering an easy to manage, highly scalable solution that provides the value at an affordable cost."

-  Marc Staimer, Founder and President, Dragon Slayer Consulting

“AutoVirt’s file virtualization solution - featuring data migration as its first 'killer app' - will provide  IT managers at mid-range sites with an excellent tool for reducing infrastructure complexity, increasing operational efficiency, and controlling escalating costs.”

-  Mike Karp, Senior Analyst, Storage Management Practice, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA)

“After 50 years of advancements in commercial IT, why is it that year after year we still are talking about the same tactical challenges? Data migration is still a huge problem that everyone has to contend with – an issue exacerbated by exponential data growth. It is astounding to me that so few focus on solving this real world problem.  Hat’s off to AutoVirt who is doing just that. Out of the gate, the AutoVirt solution will help IT managers to overcome one of their greatest pain-points – Windows data migration.”

-  Steve Duplessie, founder and senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)

“Manual data migrations are error prone and time consuming, but a necessary evil as windows file servers run out of space, technology is refreshed, or environments develop hot spots.  Solutions such as AutoVirt, that allow users to automate the process and migrate data based on set policies, reduce the risk and manpower associated with performing migrations.  Because the solution is completely out of band and migrations are performed as a background task, migrations happen faster and users see virtually no performance impact.”

-  Terri McClure, Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)

“Data migration for mid-range IT shops is typically a disruptive and time consuming manual process.  Solutions such as AutoVirt, which allow data migration tasks to take place without downtime and without the need to reconfigure applications and client systems, will likely be met with deep gratitude from these customers.”

-  Noemi Greyzdorf, Research Manager, Storage Software, IDC

"Virtualization technology can offer a number of benefits to organizations of all sizes. Like any other area information technology, the appropriate selection of the proper tools can make a big difference to the success an organization experiences. File virtualization, such as AutoVirt's technology, can make life much easier for IT administrators. Technology of this type can improve the level of storage utilization an organization experiences, make data migration from one generation of storage device to another simple, and allow organizations to fully access their application and data files."

-  Dan Kusnetzky, Principal Analyst and President of the Kusnetzky Group LLC, Virtualization Blogger for ZDnet and Columnist for Virtual Strategy Magazine

“I would suggest that any mid-size organization wanting an affordable and easy to use virtualization solution that allows them to fully access and manage their file data without limitation, should take a look at the AutoVirt solution.” 

-  David Hill, Principal, Mesabi Group

“Over the last few years, file virtualization has become synonymous with enterprise-class file data management and cost control.  The mid-range market offers a great opportunity for solutions providers, such as AutoVirt, that can provide the same benefits, with less complexity, and at a much lower price.”
