Business case · Migration window

Shorten the cutover. Stop double-paying.

During a migration you run both environments at once — old and new storage, compute, and licenses — and you pay for the overlap every day it drags on. A slow mover stretches that window for weeks. See what cutting it to days is worth.

The window is the transfer time; double-running cost is your daily spend on keeping the old and new environments live in parallel (storage, compute, licenses, staff). Estimates assume your storage and hosts can sustain the link — Zettar realizes ~90%+ of it. Get an exact migration plan for your environment →

Why these numbers

A slow migration is two bills at once.

Until the last byte lands and you cut over, the old environment keeps running beside the new one — and you pay for both. A mover that fills 10–30% of your link turns a one-day move into a multi-week overlap. Zettar runs at line rate, so the window collapses and the double-running stops.

FAQ

Common questions

FAQ

How is the migration window calculated?

It is the transfer time for your data over your link at each tool's realized utilization — Zettar at line rate (~90%) versus your current tool. The cost is that window multiplied by your daily double-running spend (keeping the old and new environments live in parallel).

FAQ

Why does a slow migration cost more than just time?

Because until the last byte lands and you cut over, you run both environments at once and pay for both — storage, compute, licenses, and staff. A mover that fills 10–30% of your link stretches a one-day move into weeks of overlap. Zettar collapses the window so the double-running stops sooner.

Can I take this to my team?

Yes — it builds a one-page business case you can download or print, with your data, link, window, and the double-running you avoid. Book a demo for a measured migration plan on your environment.
