We create transparency with the migRaven File server analysis

File servers play a central role in accessing your company data. However, they are usually more of a "data grave" than a lever for efficient and secure collaboration. migRaven's holistic file server analysis creates transparency with regard to the current state of your AD and FS structures. This makes it an essential measure for preparing for:

Clean up data, permissions and Active Directory

Migration of data, permissions and file servers

Consolidation of grown directory and authorization structures

In this 9-month IT project, we carried out a comprehensive data consolidation and authorization management for 600 accounts. This included the consolidation of grown directory structures and 18 TB of data. By using migRaven.24/7 Analyzer and migRaven.one We cleaned up 85% of old data that was older than two years and removed 60% of all explicit permissions.
With a newly built directory structure according to best practice and improved authorization management, we have created a solid basis for efficient and secure data management.

Transfer of 24 locations to a data center

1700 users and their data are to be transferred from 24 locations to a shared data center. The data sets and access authorizations are to be consolidated. In the future, authorizations are to be set largely automatically using an IAM system. The project duration was 16 months.

Sharepoint migration for 24.000 employees

The project involved migrating the entire directory structure of 24.000 employees, 12.000 DFS links and 48.000 directories with explicit permissions, as well as 2,4 PB of data to SharePoint O365. There were complex challenges: a deeply structured initial structure with authorizations up to the fourth level, a high proportion of old data and some outdated data owner information. Additionally, the structure was not compliant with SharePoint migration guidelines.
The solution was to eliminate 70% of irrelevant directories using the migRaven.24/7 Identify analyzers, redefine data owners accordingly and prepare the migration with the Linkfixer tool. The implementation was carried out by migRaven.one, whereby the application directories were also migrated to a new local file server structure.

Clean-up of Active Directory and file system

The project included the cleanup and restructuring of the Active Directory and the file system over a period of 24 months.
The main goals were to revise a complex directory structure that had grown over 20 years, to redesign authorizations and to ensure audit-proof data archiving. Key challenges included dealing with structures and permissions that were too deep, long paths that prevented files from being opened, and a large proportion of outdated data.
The solution strategy included archiving obsolete data, removing outdated permissions, building new permission structures and moving data into a new, flatter structure.

Consolidation of company data

The company migRaven supported us in consolidating company data onto a Windows file server. In order to meet the requirements of the specialist departments, a new folder structure with clear permissions was developed together with the technical consultants. Existing file links were adapted to the new structure during the migration. During the entire project, the employees of migRaven were always available to provide us with advice and support. Our requirements were implemented to our complete satisfaction.

use cases

In these cases, a file server analysis makes sense for your company

Merging structures

If different infrastructures and authorization structures are brought together in a merger, you have the opportunity to set up the new system in a compliant, secure and efficient manner right from the start. We not only support you with the migration, but also create sustainable transparency and prevent new data chaos.

Division of structures

Sometimes it is necessary to split up established infrastructures and authorization structures. In these cases, we support you in separating the systems and migrating them to the new structures. The result is the secure, clean and efficient restructuring of your data, directories and authorizations.

Introduction of new hardware

The introduction of new hardware presents you with various challenges: Are the new components compatible with your current structures? Can they adopt existing authorization structures? The migRaven file server analysis creates transparency for successful migration and integration.

Chaotic file servers & permissions

The amount of data is constantly growing, while very few companies keep track of their directory and access structures. This is not only a security risk, but also ties up unnecessary capacity and thus causes costs. We help you to set up your data management sustainably and reduce costs.
