AutoVirt
Encyclopedia
AutoVirt, short for automated virtualization, is a company based in Nashua, New Hampshire
that provides a file virtualization software for migrating and consolidating unstructured data Windows networks. AutoVirt virtualizes access to networked files and has a data management platform for migrating, consolidating, replicating, archiving or tiering across physical devices. IT administrators use AutoVirt to move data while it is in use, route users to disaster recovery sites, and tier data to new platforms. AutoVirt’s platform is software-based and sits in native storage environments.
File virtualization creates a layer of abstraction between physical storage devices and the clients that access them. AutoVirt automates storage management functions using file virtualization to shield end-users from data management activities:
AutoVirt is commonly used to:
AutoVirt's file virtualization layer breaks the dependency between where data lives and how it is accessed. AutoVirt employs a global namespace that provides a single interface for managing data. It registers all changes to data location and resolves client requests for data after files have been moved.
AutoVirt's policy engine automates the movement of data. Administrators can configure policies with options for job scheduling, exception handling, and e-mail notification. AutoVirt interacts with clients and networked file servers using the Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol.

CTO Klavs Landberg founded AutoVirt in 2007 to create an automated, transparent data migration solution for Windows environments. The company is backed by venture capitalists including Kepha Partners and Sigma PartnersProduct
AutoVirt AutoVirt software combines file virtualization technology with a policy engine for automating common data management workflows. The AutoVirt platform provides a single interface for managing data without disrupting end-user access to networked files.File virtualization creates a layer of abstraction between physical storage devices and the clients that access them. AutoVirt automates storage management functions using file virtualization to shield end-users from data management activities:
- Data measurement
- Copying
- Migration
- Replication
- Archiving
AutoVirt is commonly used to:
- Consolidate file servers
- Migrate data onto new file servers or NAS devices
- Centralize and replicate data for backup and recovery
- Manage file data across remote offices
- Archive data no longer in use to lower-cost storage
