PlateSpin Migrate is designed to be used for the following scenarios:
Consolidation: Automating large-scale migrations of physical machines to virtual machines, accelerating consolidation projects, and reducing administrative effort and errors.
Continuous Workload Optimization: Moving workloads to and from any geographical location, onto any platform, in any direction. Workloads can be virtualized or de-virtualized during ongoing and continuous optimization of resources.
Migration: Moving fully configured workloads from old hardware to new hardware without rebuilding the entire software stack.
Maintenance and Support Agreement Integrity: De-virtualizing workloads along with the applications installed on them and moving them back to physical machines over the network so that the support agreements can remain valid.
Machine Provisioning: Easily capturing an entire library of hardware-independent PlateSpin Images and deploying them to new infrastructures over the network without manually configuring the hardware, drivers, and so on.
Migration to Cloud: Moving workloads to cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, VMware vCloud Director, and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Data Center Relocation: Relocating data center from one geographical location to another.
Test Lab Deployment: Consolidating test lab workloads by running multiple virtual machines on a single VM host, quickly deploying virtual test lab environments with ease, and replicating an entire production environment in matter of hours or days.
