Storage Provider Migrator for OpenText Content Server

By  Syntergy Inc

Storage Provider Migrator seamlessly migrates content in your current Storage Provider to any Content Server Storage Provider(s) with no disruptions or downtime to your production Systems.

In OpenText Content Server, a “Storage Provider” is configured to store the file portion of the content which is mainly documents. Examples of storage providers are an Oracle or SQL database, a Windows file system or an Archive Server.   

Hardware Refresh Challenge - Every 3-4 years IT is forced to perform a "full-stop“ to evaluate computing, storage and networking alternatives. Evaluating storage needs is actually worse! This is required more frequently. The demand for high performance and high capacity is growing faster than 3 year refresh cycles. Each refresh cycle tends to require re-structuring of data storage needs and migration of data and applications to new storage architectures. This process is also time consuming and potentially disruptive to the production systems.    Storage Provider Migrator seamlessly migrates content in your current Storage Provider to any Content Server Storage Provider(s) with no disruptions or downtime to your production Systems.
