Maintaining Data Consistency In Migration Projects With Interlock
Gestalt IT, Monday, November 4th, 2024
In the latest Tech Field Day Showcase, I alongside a group of other delegates, met with Interlock Technology. Interlock is a company that specializes in supporting highly complex data migration projects with a particular focus on critical and compliance data.
Data consistency and integrity are two absolute precursors in any data storage architecture stack, and were among the key differentiators pitched during the discussion. So why is this relevant in the context of data migration? Let me explain.
There are several ways to look at data consistency and integrity through the various layers of IT infrastructure stack. At the lowest layer, you want to ensure that integrity is embedded into the system by making certain that the endless chains of ones and zeroes that constitute a file or object are properly written, readable, and protected against common hardware failures.
