Evergreen//Forever Resources
A forklift upgrade is a complete overhaul of the IT infrastructure. Old and outdated storage systems are ripped out and replaced with newly purchased technology. The process is complex, wasteful, and time-consuming. Forklift upgrades are driven by architectural incompatibilities between storage generations or limitations in scale-out architectures that can’t add new nodes to existing arrays or clusters.
A non-disruptive upgrade is a software upgrade, hardware expansion, and/or component (like a controller, blade, or chassis) replacement that doesn’t impact data availability or performance. In an ideal scenario, it means no downtime, no data migrations, and no degradations in performance.
