1. Data Migration Made Easy
Fast, Assured Enterprise-Wide Migration — Guaranteed
Greetings. I’d like to introduce you to Vicom, a provider of fabric-based SAN solutions that help companies like yours to realize the benefits of SANs.
If you manage storage today, you know that managing it is a huge challenge. According to Gartner Group, most companies are doubling their storage every months, while increasing their budgets by about 2-3% annually — imposing a kind of Moore’s law of storage consumption at the expense of the IT staff.
SANs, of course, are touted as one of the ways out of this dilemma, promising things like seamless consolidation, high availability, and instant data recovery. Reality, however, doesn’t really bear this out — unless, you’ve tried offerings from Vicom Systems.

Best Practice – Windows Boot LUN Migration
Update HBA BIOS, if needed.
Connect Server HBA to destination SAN (if source SAN is different from destination SAN). Zone (FC) server HBA and destination storage ports together. Configure LUN masking so that server can access LUNs from the destination storage.
If there are multiple paths to destination storage, connect only one path and temporarily disconnect all other paths.
Configure HBA BIOS setting such that HBA can recognize boot LUN from destination storage (by WWPN).
Bring-up server; boot from destination storage.
Install proper multipath driver (Snap Drive) for the destination storage, then shutdown the server.
Reconnect all other paths to the destination storage, and bring-up the system again.
Run chkdisk to verify the file system.
Examine log files (system, application) for errors and warnings.
Start applications and verify user data. 25

Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) for financial institutions
Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACT) of 2003
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Sarbanes-Oxley for publicly traded companies.
Ensure crucial information like company, employee and customer information is securely sanitized.
When to do data sanitization?
Retiring storage
Returning leased storage
Upgrading storage
Redeploying storage 46

47. Additional DMS Service Data Sanitization – Why?47

48. Additional DMS Service How Vicom Data Sanitization Works?
Conforms to U.S. Department of Defense requirements for sanitizing disks. DoD recommends, “Overwriting with a pattern, and then its complement, and finally with another pattern. Sanitization is not complete until all six passes of three cycles are completed.”
Example,
" Write to disk with pattern ‘ ’
" Write to disk with the complement pattern ‘ ’
" Write to disk with another pattern ‘ ’
Vicom Data Sanitization Software does the above process two times with different patterns.
Pattern can be set by customer. 48

49. Additional DMS Service Why Vicom Data Sanitization?
Host based does not sanitize the data reliably.
Deleting a file merely removes its name from the directory structure’s special disk sectors. User data remains in the drive.
Reformatting a disk drive clears the file directory and severs the links between storage sectors, but the user data remains and can be recovered until the sectors are overwritten.
Host based tool can not remove OS protected data.
Spare drives are internal to storage system, not visible to OS.
Vicom data sanitization service guarantees data destruction
Removing compliance liability.
Conforms to DoD guidelines.
Sanitize Open System data and Mainframe data.
Fastest method.
Support any interface - FC/SCSI/SSA/SATA. 49

50. Additional DMS Service LUN Stacking
Disk Volume Re-layout (LUN Stacking)
Consolidate multiple small LUN to fewer large LUN.
