IBM Cloud® Mass Data Migration uses storage devices with 120 TB of usable capacity to accelerate moving data to the cloud and overcome common transfer challenges like high costs, long transfer times and security concerns — all in a single service. Using a single IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration device, you can migrate up to 120 TB of data (at RAID-6) in just days, as opposed to weeks or months using traditional data-transfer methods. Whether you need to migrate a few terabytes or many petabytes of data, you have the flexibility to request one or multiple devices to accommodate your workload. Moving large data sets can be an expensive and time-consuming process. Use an IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration device at your location for just 50 USD per day. IBM sends you a preconfigured device for you to simply connect, ingest data and then ship back to IBM for offload into IBM Cloud Object Storage. Once offloaded, enjoy immediate access to your data in the cloud while IBM securely wipes the device.

ArchiverFS is a lightweight file archiving solution for servers and network storage that lets you use any NAS, SAN, or cloud platform as second-tier storage. With no databases or proprietary formats, it runs on pure NTFS from start to finish. Old, unused, or unstructured files can be moved in bulk from expensive primary storage to cheaper secondary devices while preserving directory structures, attributes, and permissions. If it can be formatted with NTFS and shared via a UNC path, ArchiverFS can use it. Features include support for cloud, DFS, replication, de-duplication, and compression. Optional link stubs (including seamless symbolic links) can be left in place of moved files, so users see them exactly as before. By reclaiming valuable space on primary storage without adding complexity, ArchiverFS helps organizations reduce costs, improve performance, and manage file growth with complete transparency.
