Softek Transparent Data Migration Facility (TDMF TDMF Transparent Data Migration Facility TDMF Time Division Matrix Function ) UNIX, Version 3.0, is the industry's first software that allows logical disk volumes to be segmented into multiple regions during the migration process to allow local data migrations to be completed four times faster as compared to existing tools and utilities. The new release of Softek TDMF IP offers enhanced functionality and scalability for its distance data migration software to enable faster and more convenient migrations over TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. within Unix and Linux environments. New features include Restart-able Full Refresh, which enables existing migrations to re-start from the point of broken network connection and provides storage administrators considerable time savings, especially if a broken link condition occurs near the middle or end of a large data migration. In addition, TDMF IP now allows migration of disk volumes up to four times larger than previously supported volume sizes.
