PlateSpin Migrate

Multiplatform Workload Portability and Migration
PlateSpin® Migrate is a powerful workload portability and migration solution from Novell® that migrates server workloads over the network between physical servers, virtual hosts and image archives. PlateSpin Migrate remotely decouples workloads from the underlying server hardware and streams them to and from any physical or virtual host — all from a single point of control. With broad multiplatform support for hypervisors and operating systems, PlateSpin Migrate can provide organizations with a mature solution for testing, migrating and rebalancing workloads across infrastructure boundaries from desktop to data center.

Broad Multiplatform Support
  • Provides comprehensive multiplatform support for mixed IT environments
  • Offers broad support for Windows® and Linux® and major hypervisor technologies
  • Enables enterprises to profile, move, copy and replicate data, applications and operating systems across infrastructure boundaries to make physical and virtual environments work as one
Enterprise Ready Workload Migration
  • Provides solutions that automate the planning, testing and migration of server workloads
  • Offers superb migration speed and reliability to accommodate both small and large enterprise data centers
  • Helps enterprises cross physical and virtual boundaries and reduce downtime and risk

Live Testing and Server Sync™

  • Reduces the risks associated with workload relocation projects like server consolidation and data center relocation
  • Includes a three-step process to:
    • Perform an initial transfer to the target site or host
    • Test the workload in the new location while continuing to run the source
    • Perform a final sync before cutting over the workload
  • Is ideal when the source and destination are geographically distributed
  • Can remove the necessity for a full system replication to help dramatically accelerate workload migrations over the wide area network
