BOSTON, Jan. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Tervela, the
Data in Motion platform company, today announced that its cloud
orchestrated data transfer service is powering News Corp's
migration of data to Dropbox. Cloud FastPath is enabling News
Corp's IT teams to automate the migration of more than 150
Terabytes of files and content for more than 23,000 employees
across eight businesses, and distributed worldwide across six
datacenters, into Dropbox. Tervela recently joined the Dropbox
Premier Partner Program to accelerate the migration of files, while
reducing the cost and complexity associated with moving content
into the leading cloud-based collaboration platform.
News Corp chose Cloud FastPath because of its comprehensive
solution, offering simplified deployment, ease of use, high
transfer speed and advanced security and automation capabilities.
Having an effective migration solution in place means that the
company is now able to accelerate its Dropbox adoption for all
employees and build on the productivity and efficiency gains
achieved through its initial project-based rollout.
"The decision to put more of our business content and files in
the cloud was reasonably straightforward because the advantages
were clear. Yet the execution was challenging because we need to
move data for thousands of employees in several business units
globally, while ensuring that the migration is seamless and
secure," said Dominic Shine, Global
CIO, News Corp. "After we evaluated several options, we chose Cloud
FastPath to allow us to migrate our data to Dropbox as quickly and
easily as possible."
The global media and information services company deployed Cloud
FastPath remotely and is executing the migrations through the web
application. The solution's transfer performance will allow News
Corp to migrate hundreds of users per day into Dropbox. Using Cloud
FastPath's file analytics and account and permission mapping
functionality, the IT team built predictable migration plans. With
tens of millions of files, the IT team will achieve clear
visibility and an audit trail into the migration process.
"News Corp's shift to minimal on-premises storage infrastructure
in favor of Dropbox highlights an important opportunity for all
enterprises," said Eric Schnadig,
CEO, Tervela. "More businesses are realizing that if they don't
leverage the flexibility, scalability and IT management freedom
that the cloud has to offer, they'll be left behind. News Corp is
at the forefront of this visionary trend and we're thrilled to be
working with them as a Dropbox partner to help accelerate their
cloud adoption and deliver value to their employees and
business."
Global organizations typically have distributed file servers for
their content, requiring dedicated IT support to ensure uptime and
availability. In addition, a growing mobile workforce is
increasingly frustrated with having to use on-premises file
platforms that are challenging to access and expensive to manage.
This is compelling many organizations to consolidate their storage
infrastructures onto a single platform, which can create several
migration challenges.
Cloud FastPath provides a comprehensive solution for
simplifying, securing and speeding large scale migrations for
organizations that are moving vast amounts of content from
disparate locations into Dropbox. With pre-migration analysis,
optimized data transfer technology and post-migration reporting,
Cloud FastPath enables organizations to streamline the adoption of
cloud platforms and quickly unlock their many benefits.
