Stay tuned for additional project updates. We will also contact your unit directly regarding your current services and to assist with planning for migration. We will send regular project updates to the EZBACKUP-ANNOUNCE-L email distribution and other campus IT news sources. How will I stay informed about this project? We will then be in contact to collect additional information about the business use of the remaining nodes and any special requirements that may need consideration. This reference will give organizations a chance to review and identify nodes that are no longer required and submit decommission requests as appropriate. Migration of servers to new services: February–July 2023Īs a first step, we will be sending your unit a list of nodes that haven’t backed up in over 90 days. Product evaluation/selection: February–October 2022ĭesign/build of new services: June 2022–February 2023 Migration of desktops to Code42: June–November 2022 The current schedule (subject to change) is reflected below.Īssessment of customer requirements: April–July 2022 Migration to a new service must be completed by December 2023 to avoid new capital spend on server hardware. In the coming months, we will be reaching out to you to better understand your specific use of EZ-Backup. Our intention is to design services based on customer requirements to the fullest extent possible. A new service (or new services) will be established to replace EZ-Backup.
The solution for servers and other nodes has not yet been determined. If they haven’t already, desktops and laptops will be migrated to Code42, either as part of the Certified Desktop service or, in cases where Certified Desktop is unavailable, with standalone Code42 deployments. What service will EZ-Backup and Spectrum Protect be replaced with? Reduced economies of scale, combined with looming hardware capital investments in Spectrum Protect, have made the continuation of the EZ-Backup service in its present form unviable. Over the last two years, there have been several changes that have significantly impacted the use of Spectrum Protect for backups, including the migration of desktops and laptops to Code42 and the migration of the Managed Servers service and Shared File Services (SFS) to Cohesity. To ensure the best customer experience, we have addressed some basic questions below and what the transition means for your operations. The EZ-Backup storage platform is supported by IBM Spectrum Protect and all customers will be migrated from Spectrum Protect to a new service (TBD) before the December 2023 retirement deadline. As part of Cornell’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and improved IT services, CIT is launching the EZ-Backup Modernization Project, a program to retire and replace the EZ-Backup service.
