Introduction to Workload Migration
• A workload is the operating system, applications, data and configuration that reside on a physical server or virtual machine.
• A workload is a single entity that is portable between physical, virtual and cloud platforms
What is a Workload?
Data
Applications
Operating System

What is PlateSpin Workload Migration?
What is
Moving an entire workload from one platform to another, i.e. • Physical to Virtual (P2V) • Physical to Cloud (P2C) • Physical to Physical (P2P) • Virtual to Virtual (V2V) • Virtual to Cloud (V2C) • Anywhere to anywhere (X2X)
What it isn’t
Anything else, for example: • Migrating applications to another OS
(see Micro Focus Desktop Containers) • Operating System upgrades • Application upgrades • Data migrations • SAN migrations • Hypervisor upgrades (in-situ)
5
Contents
Workload Migration Primary Use Cases
Refresh & Consolidation
Hardware Refresh • Upgrading to new server models • Switching to new server vendor Server Virtualization & Consolidation • Converting physical servers to virtual
machines • Combining multiple workloads on a
single virtual host
Data Centre Transformation
Virtual-to-Virtual Migrations • Switching virtualization platforms • Hypervisor upgrades with new hardware Cloud Migrations • Public cloud such as Azure and AWS • Adopting or switching service providers • Private/hybrid cloud deployment
6
Contents
Workload Migration Secondary Use Cases
Sandbox Testing
• Create exact replicas of production services for testing purposes
• Often more realistic than dev/test environments
• Safely test the effects of application updates, OS patches and configuration changes before applying them to production systems
Application Staging
• Stage business services through test, pre-production and production environments
• Build once, test many times
• Reduce the risks associated with manual build processes

Workload Migration Challenges
Contents
The Problem With Free Migration Tools
For the business
• Disruptive • Source application is usually
down for the entire replication • May be costly to the business
• Risky • No ability to test the new system
prior to cutover • One-way process – no way to fall
back
For IT
• High-effort • Manual re-configuration, e.g.
NICs, tools, services etc. • Poor scalability and resilience
• Complex • Limited platform support,
particularly for Linux • Multiple tools leads to errors and
increased costs 9
Contents
Minimise Downtime
• Businesses are more reliant than ever on IT systems
• Need to migrate with near-zero downtime at a time that suits the business “You don’t need to take your production server offline for the whole of the migration process. It’s only offline for a few minutes during the final update.” Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Health Unit
“The increased automation during the actual migration phases has enabled us to cut our typical migration window in half, which means a dramatic reduction in service downtime for our customers.” US Signal
10
Contents
Minimise Risk
• The business demands that proposed changes will not affect its operations
• Need to test business services prior to cutover “PlateSpin Migrate allowed us to run extensive testing and perform a dry-run before we undertook the actual migrations. As a result, nothing was left to chance: we knew exactly what was going to happen and were not disappointed.” CSH Surrey
11
Minimise Time and Effort • Migration projects are often outsourced
to the lowest bidder • Need for automation & predictable
costs “We saved an average of four hours’ migration time per server. Without PlateSpin Migrate, meeting this deadline would simply have been too challenging.” Atos “With no requirement to watch over the migration, we probably save 80% in resource time.” Vodacom
12
Minimise Complexity
• Standardisation reduces cost and implementation time
• Need a single solution that supports every migration scenario: Windows & Linux, physical, virtual and cloud
“The standardized approach means that the risk of data loss and unplanned downtime is practically eliminated—giving customers confidence that their business-critical systems remain safe as they move into the cloud.” Essent

50%
• Everything is bigger • A project can contain tens of thousands of workloads • An application may comprise hundreds workloads • Workloads themselves are bigger, with TBs of data • Projects are multi-phase • Planning becomes more important than ever
• The business takes priority • Need to migrate applications, not individual workloads • Near-zero downtime becomes even more critical • Need for more and more flexible testing
Migration Projects are Changing
15
Maximise Scalability
Large-scale migration projects magnify all of these challenges as well as introducing others • Even more automation
• Bulk configuration • “Zero-touch” migrations
• Better alignment with the business • Better project planning • Multi-phase service testing • Stakeholder communication
16
Minimise Cost, Maximise Opportunity
“The PlateSpin solution saved Essent about €2 million for the data centre consolidation project alone.” Essent “Faster migrations naturally translate into lower costs for our customers. We have strengthened the value proposition of our cloud and managed services offerings—enabling us to capture valuable new opportunities and grow the business.” Atos
