High-Speed Data Migration from Legacy NAS to Qumulo
Qumulo SLURP™ is a high-performance data migration engine that moves unstructured data from legacy NAS systems to the Qumulo Data Platform. By preserving data integrity, metadata, and access permissions while maximizing available bandwidth, SLURP reduces migration risk, shortens cutover windows, and accelerates cloud modernization initiatives.
Move Faster. Migrate Smarter. Modernize Without Disruption. SLURP.
High-Speed Petabyte-Scale Migration
Move large unstructured datasets from legacy NAS systems to Qumulo using all available network bandwidth to minimize migration windows and accelerate cutovers.
Multi-Protocol Data Transfer
Migrate SMB and NFS data, including files, metadata, POSIX permissions, and ACLs, in a single operation while maintaining security and access controls.
Snapshot-Based Data Integrity
Leverages source-system snapshots and incremental synchronization to ensure consistent, accurate migrations with minimal disruption to production environments.
Flexible On-Prem and Cloud Destinations
Migrate directly to Qumulo Core on-premises or to Cloud Native Qumulo on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or OCI.
Simple Deployment and Management
Deploy on standard Linux infrastructure with lightweight operation and API-driven management, eliminating the complexity of traditional migration platforms.
Lower-Cost Alternative
Delivers enterprise-class migration performance while simplifying procurement, licensing, and implementation compared to specialized migration products.
Qumulo SLURP: Accelerate NAS-to-Cloud Data Migration
Modernize your file infrastructure without the complexity of traditional migration tools. Qumulo SLURP (Simple Lightweight Universal Replication Program) accelerates the movement of unstructured data from legacy NAS platforms such as Dell PowerScale and NetApp to any Qumulo deployment—on-premises or in the cloud. Designed for petabyte-scale migrations, SLURP preserves data, metadata, and permissions while maximizing available bandwidth to reduce migration timelines, minimize downtime, and accelerate your journey to a cloud-enabled data platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Qumulo SLURP (Simple Lightweight Universal Replication Program) is a high-performance data migration engine that accelerates the movement of unstructured data from legacy NAS platforms to the Qumulo Data Platform, whether on-premises or in the cloud.
SLURP helps organizations quickly migrate large-scale file datasets from aging or capacity-constrained NAS environments to Qumulo while minimizing downtime, preserving data integrity, and reducing migration complexity.
SLURP is optimized for migrations from Dell PowerScale and NetApp systems and can ingest data from virtually any NAS environment that exposes NFS or SMB shares.
SLURP can migrate data to Qumulo Core on-premises or Cloud Native Qumulo deployments running in AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Yes. SLURP migrates data, metadata, POSIX permissions, and SMB ACLs to ensure applications and users maintain the same access controls after migration.
SLURP uses source-system snapshots and incremental synchronization cycles to identify and transfer changes until the source and destination are fully synchronized and ready for cutover.
Qumulo SLURP can be deployed on any Linux system. For optimal performance, the Linux host should be configured with network connectivity that matches the throughput capabilities of both the source NAS system and the destination Qumulo environment (for example, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, or 100GbE networking).
SLURP delivers enterprise-scale migration performance while simplifying procurement, licensing, deployment, and operations. Organizations that do not already own third-party migration software can often begin migrations much faster.
SLURP uses a self-optimizing, multi-threaded architecture that leverages all available network bandwidth to maximize throughput. Migration speed depends on the source system, target environment, and network infrastructure, and can be scaled further through parallel SLURP deployments. We have moved more than a PB per day using SLURP in a real-world use case.
