We migrate your data & permissions from file servers under Windows

Whether you want to merge or separate corporate structures, restructure your file servers or introduce new hardware – in all cases, the migration of data and authorizations is unavoidable.

However, migration projects are complex and can quickly become a cost trap for companies or fail completely if old, inefficient structures are simply copied. That is why migRaven relies on a sustainable migration strategy:

With the software migRaven.one Evaluate, structure and migrate data and corrections step by step. Our experts will support you throughout the entire process.

This is what happens during file server migration under Windows

1. File server analysis

First, we perform an analysis of the AD and FS structures and identify obsolete data in order to transparently assess the current state of the file server.

2. Sustainable clean-up

Instead of simply copying them, we clean up your data and directories sustainably – on average, this affects 50 to 80 percent of the data.

3. Design a new target structure

In close coordination with the specialist departments, we create a new target structure for data and authorizations that is flat and organized across departments.

4. Migration of directories

After the clean-up, your data is automatically migrated to the new target structure – coordinated and including the cleaning of all links in the documents.

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.

Migrating with migRaven

Thank you very much for the excellent processing. The initially arduous path from the workshop to the actual order required a lot of patience and persuasion, but I was able to rely on your support. I am very satisfied with the result. Thank you for the knowledge transfer and the good cooperation and I look forward to another authorization project with you!

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.

In these cases, a migration with migRaven makes particularly good 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.
