Intelligently moving data between storage systems

Abstract:

Intelligently moving data between storage systems, including: identifying characteristics associated with a plurality of data communications paths between a source storage system and a plurality of target storage systems; identifying characteristics associated with a plurality of data communications paths between two or more target storage systems; selecting, using the characteristics associated with the plurality of data communications paths between the source storage system and the plurality of target storage systems and the characteristics associated with a plurality of data communications paths between two or more target storage systems, an optimal path between the source storage system and each of the target storage systems; and migrating data stored on the source storage system to each of the target storage systems utilizing the optimal paths.
