User Data Migration

User Data Migration is offered as one of several optional components of the Intel® Architecture (IA) Deployment Services. IA Deployment Services is a customized suite of cost and resource efficient solutions for deploying large quantities of Fujitsu Intel Architecture (IA) servers, notebooks and Tablet PCs. Fujitsu can coordinate and offload your manpower intensive and time-consuming tasks associated with new technology rollouts to ensure smooth, trouble-free installation and on-time production readiness of distributed IT environments. Your specific solutions can consist of any “mix and match” value-added services in tandem with the purchase of multiple Fujitsu IA-based systems.

The User Data Migration service is employed to assist in moving your user data (most typically Microsoft Office Access, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project files) from de-commissioned machines to newly installed Fujitsu systems. Your IT organization may typically apply unique standards concerning disk layout, security practices and the like, with user account privileges that vary widely from limited (“locked down”) to wide open (Administrative) configuration rights. Varying end user workstation environments can present impediments to successful migrations. As an essential ingredient of User Data Migration services, Fujitsu IA Deployment Services works with you during the pre-migration planning phase to mitigate exposures for the expeditious resumption of user productivity. Fujitsu employs best practices such as:

• Pre-loading of duplicate settings on master “gold” images transferred to new Fujitsu systems disks
• Utilizing change management from migration image, script and process development through final deployment
• Ensuring the complete disk image has been sufficiently pilot tested
• Fully scripting all manual activities in detail
• Assisting with hands-on training of all migration staff

Fujitsu User Data Migration services are designed with flexibility in mind, to address your unique requirements. Fujitsu deliverables can range from assistance, to complete outsourcing of the data migration project:

• Remote “push” installs of centrally archived user data
• Onsite data migration as part of Fujitsu equipment installation
• Migration during Fujitsu equipment staging processes

Benefits

• Reduces Risk
• Facilitates thorough testing and proven procedures to minimize production interruption and promote data integrity
• Mitigates end-user productivity hits due to the migration
• Maximizes automated processes to reduce manual effort
• Data Migration performed by trained technical staff
• Offloads projects and reduces your IT staff resource requirements

Features

• Delivers a detailed definition of the old and new physical disk locations to be migrated
• Develops automated (and manual as necessary) scripts and exception procedures to relocate directories and files
• Pilot tests a subset of target systems to verify data integrity and continued operation on new Fujitsu replacement systems
• Executes data migration during the Fujitsu system rollout
• Delivers a report upon completion of the migration
