Cloud and Data Center Migration with PlateSpin Migrate and PlateSpin Transformation ManagerIn today’s dynamic world, the need for cost reduction and the desire to increase operational efficiency have a constant impact on the organization of IT resources.

Cloud and Data Center MigrationsEnterprises are relentlessly looking for better ways to manage infrastructure, systems and applications—and this often leads to the ex-ecution of projects where large numbers of servers are moved from one platform or data center to another. Typical examples include the migration of physical servers onto a vir-tual platform, the migration of virtual machines from one virtual platform to another, traditional data center consolidations, and the migration of on-premise servers into a managed or pub-lic cloud, like Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Product IntroductionPlateSpin® Migrate is a pow erful server por-tability solu tion that automates the process of migrating servers over the network between physical machines, virtual hosts and enterprise cloud platforms—all from a single point of con-trol. When migrating such servers, PlateSpin Migrate refers to these servers as “workloads.” A workload in this context is the aggregation of the software stack installed on the server: the operating system, applications and middleware, plus any data that resides on the server vol-umes. PlateSpin Migrate provides enterprises

and service providers with a mature, proven solution for migrating, testing and re-balancing workloads across infrastructure boundaries. Some of the key features in PlateSpin Migrate are:

Anywhere-to-anywhere workload migration capabilities, including to various cloud platforms

Horizontal scalability with up to 40 concur-rently active migrations per individual PlateSpin Migrate server

Zero service downtime during replication phases, and minimal service downtime during final cutover

PlateSpin Transformation Manager is de-signed from the ground up to properly plan, track and execute data center migration projects, and is typically used alongside PlateSpin Migrate to allow several people or teams of people with different roles to collaborate on the mi-gration project plan. PlateSpin Transformation

Manager’s client-server based web architecture allows different stakeholders to update the same data at the same time safely via a browser. It can handle multiple projects for multiple end customers, with built-in multi-tenancy to ensure that all customer data is properly contained and segregated. Information about project work-loads can be imported via a spreadsheet or via an API, or automatically discovered based on IP address ranges. Depending on the target migration platform, PlateSpin Transformation Manager can automatically drive the workload migrations based on the project plan.

Enterprise-Grade Migration WorkflowPlateSpin products feature an easy-to-under-stand migration workflow. After an initial full replication, the target workload is kept in sync with the source workload via automatically sched uled incremental replications. Testing the target workload before cutting it over in pro-duction is crucial to ensure that the migrated services will perform properly in their new envi-ronment. When using PlateSpin, testing a work-load can be done with a single mouse click. A test can go on as long as needed, and there is no limit on the amount of test windows. Once all tests are satisfactory, the workload can be cut over in production.
