News Facts:

• IT administrators rely on Secure Copy to complete data and permissions migrations during server upgrades, and simplify server consolidations or facilitate organizational moves to NAS or SAN devices. Secure Copy is the core of an array of Quest Software products that, used together, streamline the entire data migration and management process, covering pre-migration analysis; reporting and cleanup tasks; post-migration verification and reporting; as well as ongoing data management and maintenance.
• Secure Copy 6.0 includes new enhancements so the product can accommodate strategic initiatives within even the most demanding IT environments. New features include:

• Logging and Reporting – Secure Copy expands the functionality with new pre-defined reports, which are available in various view output formats, and provide detailed information about migration tasks with a click of the mouse. A new dashboard, more detailed summary, and Logs views assist IT administrators by providing a better, more easily accessible snapshot of migration projects.
• Job Management – Secure Copy brings a number of enhancements to job management, which provides a new and improved user experience, along with a re-designed user interface and job option categories. These new features provide an easier way for the IT administrator to confidently manage specific job options for a given migration.
• Copy Performance – Secure Copy now works with Volume Shadow Copy Services so data migrations can begin from a fixed point in time with a snapshot state, enabling servers or files to be migrated without taking applications offline, and with less impact to end users. New bandwidth throttling functionality now added to the existing, powerful multithreaded engine reduces the potential for possible network performance delays and increases the speed of job to completion. Native 64-bit support further improves migration performance.

“Conversations with our customers tell us that we can expect a significant increase in data migration projects as companies across various industry sectors look to update legacy systems and gain a competitive advantage by leveraging the latest technology. With Secure Copy 6.0, we aim to help those customers streamline the often time-consuming and challenging migration process. Automation between Windows file servers and devices and new reports dwarf functionality in other solutions, enabling the admin to ensure that migrations were successful and security was maintained.”

• Dave Ortin, supervisor, Network Operations, Walworth County, Wisconsin

“With a small IT department and limited resources, our team looks for solutions that can simplify IT tasks to enable us to focus on other priorities. With Secure Copy, data migrations are completed in half the time, with all permissions and security settings remaining intact. The dashboard view in Secure Copy 6.0 provides a quick look at logs and new reports so our team can see if a migration was successfully completed.”
