Large-scale NAS and unstructured data migrations
We move large volumes of file and object data between storage vendors and clouds. Users keep working while data syncs, permissions come across intact, and every file is counted and checksum-verified before sign-off.
Prove it on one share first
Before the full migration, we move one share or dataset end to end. You see real throughput, permissions and cutover steps on your own data, and the full plan is built on measured numbers, not estimates.
- Measured speed
Throughput benchmarked on your network and storage.
- Permissions checked
NTFS and NFSv4.1 ACLs, SIDs, and Kerberos or NTLM access verified on the target.
- Cutover rehearsed
The switch-over steps tested before any production share moves.
Everything needed to go live
Discovery
Shares, file counts, sizes, permissions and growth mapped across every source.
Permissions preserved
NTFS and NFSv4.1 ACLs, SIDs and POSIX permissions carried over, with Kerberos or NTLM authentication.
Incremental sync
Data copied in the background while users keep working on the source.
Short cutover
A final sync in a short, agreed window, then shares switched over.
Reconciliation
File counts and checksums matched before sign-off.
Any vendor, any cloud
Between any storage vendors and clouds, in any direction.
Four stages, no surprises
- 01Assess
Map shares, data, permissions and growth.
- 02Pilot
Migrate one share end to end and measure.
- 03Migrate
Incremental sync, then short, planned cutovers.
- 04Support
Go-live support, and training your team on the new platform and its monitoring.
Between any vendors and clouds
- Any NAS or file server, from any storage vendor
- Any object storage, on-prem or in the cloud
- Azure: Azure Files and Azure Blob Storage
- AWS: Amazon S3, Amazon FSx and Amazon EFS
- Google Cloud: Cloud Storage and Filestore
- In any direction: vendor to vendor, on-prem to cloud, or cloud to on-prem
We stay until your team is ready
- Go-live support
We stay with you through go-live and the weeks after, while real-world issues surface.
- Team training
Your team trained on the new platform and its monitoring, on your own environment.
- Runbooks and documentation
Everything your team needs to run the platform day to day.
Move one share end to end on your own data before you commit.

Will users lose access to files during the migration?
No. Users keep working on the source while data syncs in the background. Only the final cutover needs a short window to switch shares over.
How much data can you move?
Petabyte-scale estates with hundreds of shares. Throughput is benchmarked during the pilot, so the plan is based on measured speed rather than estimates.
Do permissions come across?
Yes. NTFS and NFSv4.1 ACLs, SIDs and POSIX permissions are carried over and checked on the target, and Kerberos or NTLM authentication is tested before cutover. Where a cloud service handles permissions differently, we tell you before the pilot and plan around it.
Which clouds do you migrate to?
Azure, AWS and Google Cloud: Azure Files and Blob Storage, Amazon S3, FSx and EFS, and Google Cloud Storage and Filestore.
Is the pilot migration free?
Yes. We agree the scope with you upfront: which share or dataset, and what success looks like.
