VERITAS StorageCentral - Simplify Migration
from NT to 2000/3
Today businesses
store data regardless of its age, origination or value to the
company. When undertaking a Windows migration project,
invariably all of this data is migrated. This results in a
costly and lengthy migration programme.
VERITAS
StorageCentral enables IT departments to identify and label
the type of data that is currently being stored. By
determining the content of data, IT can take appropriate
action on non-business or old data.
By removing any inappropriate data, IT departments can ensure

programme.
