Multi-tier tape retention rules that are hard to replicate in a modern hyperconverged platform.

Legacy NDMP Dependencies

Proprietary NDMP backups for legacy NAS systems that lock you into tape-based infrastructure.

IBM Storage Protect → Cohesity DataProtect migration — your questions answered

What about complex legacy backup scripts?+

We handle custom Db2 and Oracle backup scripts for TSM. Our engineers rewrite them for Cohesity so your recovery workflows stay intact.

Can I keep IBM Storage Protect support during migration?+

Yes. Your vendor support stays active as long as your contract is current. Migrate at your pace with no forced cutover.

How do you handle multi-tier tape retention and NDMP?+

We maintain the legacy environment — including tape retention rules and NDMP backups — until you fully transition. Our third-party support covers most operational issues if vendor support lapses.

How long does a TSM to Cohesity migration take?+

Typical projects run 3-6 months with 3-4 senior engineers. Budget ranges from $75,000 to $450,000 depending on data volume and complexity.
