Migrate

This is a workload portability and migration application 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 the broadest multiplatform support for hypervisors and operating system, Platespin Migrate provides organizations with a proven solution for testing, migrating and rebalancing workloads across infrastructure boundaries from desktop to data center.

Perform anywhere-to-anywhere workload migrations with broad multi-platform support.
Migrate server workloads regardless of hardware, operating system or virtual host.


Today's data centers are increasingly complex with a mix of different physical and virtual hosts, operating systems and image formats. With broad multi-platform support, PlateSpin Migrate provides a single, cost-effective solution for streaming workloads between hosts in the network including physical machines, blade infrastructures, virtual hosts and image archives. PlateSpin Migrate supports all of the leading virtualization technologies ands hypervisors, as well as multiple operating systems, hardware configurations and imaging technologies. This makes it easy to move workloads between dissimilar hardware models or between different virtual infrastructures.

Reduce the business risks associated with workload migration and relocation.
Test and migrate live workloads across local and remote sites with zero downtime.


PlateSpin Migrate allows you to move workloads locally or across geographically dispersed sites in any direction between physical and virtual infrastructures. With PlateSpin Migrate, you can:

  • Move workloads across the local or wide area network without taking production servers offline using PlateSpin Migrate's Live Transfer capability.
  • Perform live testing to make sure that workloads will run as expected in the virtual environment without disrupting source systems.
  • Use the PlateSpin Migrate Server Sync capabilities to shut down the source and perform a final synchronization to the target virtual host after testing is complete. Besides minimizing downtime, Server Sync provides a fast and efficient solution for long-distance migrations by reducing the total volume of data that must be sent across the WAN.

Improve the speed and quality of data center initiatives with cohesive planning and execution.
Reduce risk and ensure a rapid return on investment with effective planning, migration and testing.


The PlateSpin Migrate and PlateSpin Recon products work in tandem to simplify the assessment, planning, testing and migration phases of a successful data center initiative. This end-to-end solution reduces overall project time, lowers risk and increases the accuracy of the result. PlateSpin Recon allows you to:

  • Assess, analyze and create optimal plans for server and data center consolidation, hardware lease migration and other initiatives.
  • Set your plans into action using PlateSpin Migrate to stream workloads into physical and virtual environments.
  • Consolidate server workloads to virtual machine and blade infrastructures.
  • Use the most effective way to consolidate your workload on the resources you have.
  • Reduce conflicts between resources.
  • Lower your overhead for ongoing migration. PlateSpin Recon helps you balance workloads across target servers.
