Abstract: A non-disruptive cross-protocol live data migration process, such as from a legacy SAN storage network to a modern NVMe-oF storage network, includes maintaining a bitmap to track the transferred blocks at migration time, and utilizing the bitmap for intelligent I/O routing decisions that take into account characteristics of SSD-type NVM storage, such as endurance characteristics associated with solid state type memory. Furthermore, protocol command translations and multipath layer capabilities such as I/O queuing are advantaged at migration time to hide the underlying complexities related to a cross-protocol mass data migration, to enable a non-disruptive data migration process intended to avoid application downtime.

Abstract: The network communication activity of a dual-subscriber identification module (SIM) user device is monitored as the dual-SIM user device communicates with a default wireless carrier network using a default SIM and a first baseband processor of the user device. A first set of key performance indicators (KPIs) for the network communication activity on the default wireless carrier network is determined. A simulation of the network communication activity on an alternative wireless carrier network is then initiated using an alternative SIM and a second baseband processor of the dual-SIM user device. A second set of KPIs for the simulation of the network communication activity on the alternative wireless carrier network is determined. The first and second set of KPIs are then compared to determine one or more network performance features of the alternative wireless carrier network that are superior to the corresponding network performance features of the default wireless carrier network.
