Trusted NetApp to PowerScale Migrations, Proven at Scale
Yes, migrating NetApp ONTAP to Dell PowerScale is a well-understood project. Here is how it works: senior platform engineers assess your FlexGroup, NDMP, and Fpolicy environment, then execute a fixed-scope migration
The lowest-cost way off NetApp ONTAP: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.

- ✓Fixed-scope projects from $80k–$450k—no surprises
- ✓Senior platform engineers execute every migration
- ✓Complete within 3–6 months on your timeline
- ✓Legacy platform stays under vendor support until cutover
- ✓Third-party support covers most issues if renewal lapses
- ✓24/7 US-based support team throughout your move
ONTAP scale-out ceiling
Your massive unstructured data growth has hit ONTAP scale-out limits—forcing forklift upgrades or chaotic multi-vendor sprawl.
Complex FlexGroup dependencies
Heavy reliance on NetApp-specific FlexGroup configurations makes you worry about re-architecture costs and data loss.
Rising support costs
Severe NetApp maintenance price increases are squeezing your storage budget—but you cannot risk a rushed migration.
NetApp ONTAP → Dell PowerScale migration — your questions answered
How do you handle custom NDMP backup integrations during the migration?+
Yes. NDMP is native on both platforms, and our engineers have deep experience re-creating backup policies and schedules with no data loss. We handle the cutover in phases.
What about NetApp Fpolicy blocking engines that our security team relies on?+
We re-engineer Fpolicy rules on PowerScale using Dell’s native event-based triggers and policy engine. Most blocking rules are migrated in parallel before the final cutover.
How do you migrate complex FlexGroup configurations without downtime?+
We use a phased approach: migrate groups of volumes or shares per your timeline. The legacy ONTAP environment remains under vendor support until your contract ends. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on ONTAP while you finish the move.
Do we have to do a single big-bang cutover to PowerScale?+
No. You keep vendor support on NetApp ONTAP as long as your contract is active. You migrate on your schedule—not a forced big-bang cutover. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy platform until you complete the move.
