Large-Scale Cloud and Data Center Migration ProjectsThe constant pressure of cost reduction and in­creased operational efficiency compels enter­prises and their IT leaders to look for better ways to manage and organize infrastructure, systems, and applications. That often leads to large­scale cloud and data center migration pro jects in which large numbers of servers are moved from one platform or data center to ano ther, or to the cloud. The number of servers in these projects can range from a couple of hundred to tens of thousands. By combining the robust­ness of PlateSpin Migrate with the scalability of PlateSpin Transformation Manager, PlateSpin Migration Factory helps you plan and execute projects with tens of thousands of servers—so that no project is ever too big for you to handle.

Key Features As easy as a spreadsheet, but much

more powerful—Using a spreadsheet to track a complex undertaking like a migration project can generate more problems than it solves. Spreadsheets don’t adjust for different user roles, they don’t audit edits, they don’t manage workflows, and they don’t provide alerts. Even keeping track of who has the latest version of the spreadsheet can quickly become a nightmare. When you deploy the PlateSpin Migration Factory, PlateSpin Transformation Manager solves all these problems while

keeping the main benefits of a spreadsheet: streamlined searching and easy mass editing of selected configuration items.

Cohesive planning and execution—Migration projects don’t have to contain tens of thousands of servers before they become complex. Interdependencies between servers, environmental challenges, changing teams, demanding business users, and the ever increasing need to reduce application downtime quickly become challenges that can bring your project to its knees, even with just a couple hundred servers. PlateSpin Transformation Manager a llows you to subdivide your project into any number of smaller, more manageable chunks, and to assign the right people to manage them—all without losing sight of the progress of the entire project. As your migration teams work through their tasks, you can track their progress and, more importantly, missed deadlines—so that you can act rapidly and efficiently when issues need your attention.

Multi-tenancy and white labeling—For service providers or systems integrators executing migration projects on behalf of their end customers, it’s crucial to ensure that all customer data is perfectly segregated. PlateSpin Migration Factory is built on a true multi­tenant foundation, ensuring 100% separation and confiden­tiality for end customers and their data.

Furthermore, to reinforce their brand with their customers, these service providers and system integrators can replace all logos and colors from the PlateSpin product user interfaces with their own.

Scalability—PlateSpin Migration Factory has been tested with hundreds of thousands of servers. Even with such numbers, searching and editing project planning data is a breeze with a simple and intuitive user interface that feels quick and responsive with even the largest projects.

Built-in credential store—Within the PlateSpin Migration Factory, PlateSpin Transformation Manager acts as a central store for all project credentials. Credentials can be defined in advance, and then used throughout the project without having to share passwords. This improves compliance and security.

Role-Based access—Whether you’re a project manager, project architect, migration specialist, or dashboard viewer—you can only see and act upon information that’s relevant to you. Role­based access for all project members and users increases security and decreases the potential for human error, preventing people from changing or working on the wrong servers or tasks.

Industry-leading automation—Besides PlateSpin Transformation Manager, PlateSpin Migration Factory includes PlateSpin Migrate, the leading server migration solution. PlateSpin Migrate configuration settings can be saved and referenced in PlateSpin Transformation Manager, reducing the potential for human error and speeding up the execution of the actual migrations. The synergy between the two products ensures you can execute your projects with the highest level of efficiency, in the least amount of time.

Kick-start your migration project—Manual data entry is time­consuming, tedious, and rife with potential for human error. With PlateSpin Migrate Factory, information about project servers can be imported via a spreadsheet or via an API, or automatically discovered based on IP address ranges.
