Brocade UNCUpdate

Brocade UNCUpdate helps support non-disruptive storage migration by accurately reporting and updating UNC references in files.

Simplified Migration and Consolidation

Windows consolidations and migrations tend to be disruptive to business operations, because they are complicated by the fact that most users and applications are tied to specific share and file locations via hard-coded Universal Naming Convention (UNC) pathnames. As a result, administrators need to take extra precautions to ensure that such linkages are maintained as part of the migration process.

A Tool for Fast, Non-Disruptive Migration

Brocade UNCUpdate is a reliable tool for reporting on files that contain UNC references to storage resources under consideration for migration. A simplified interface helps administrators migrate data to a new location by scanning directories for files containing UNC paths that might need to be updated to reference items at their new location.
Administrators save time and money through a more proactive approach that automates the link synchronization process. Likewise, Brocade UNCUpdate helps improve user productivity by eliminating potential downtime caused by broken links, shortcuts, and UNC references following a migration.

Highlights

• Simplifies operations by automatically discovering and modifying shortcuts, embedded links, and UNC references
• Streamlines management by minimizing the number of administrative tasks required during Windows migrations
• Helps eliminate potential user downtime from broken links, shortcuts, and UNC references
• Increases flexibility by providing the option to update UNC references to target the storage resource at its new location
• Increases administrator productivity with a simple, easy-to-use interface
