Migrate 

The main task of the PoWG is to prepare and set the new National Storage infrastructure in production. See the planned schedule for more information.

The group will have the important task to effectively migrate the data from the old to the new storage during the second half of 2022. This is a demanding process, and to make it effectively and with no downtime, we need to plan properly in advance. In this preparation phase, we need your help to select, prepare and verify the data you need to migrate!  

Just start by going through your data and delete elements you do not need (duplicates, outdated, etc.). It is crucial to do this in the transition period to facilitate the migration of important data and to free up storage space.  

Do this in collaboration with your colleague, to make everything smoother! 

Over the next few months, you will be getting regular updates and reminders from us to prepare your data for migration. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us
