1.1 About PlateSpin Protect

PlateSpin Protect is business continuity and disaster recovery software that protects physical and virtual workloads (operating systems, middleware, and data) by using virtualization technology. If there is a production server outage or disaster, a virtualized replica of a workload can be rapidly powered on within the target container (a VM host), and continue to run as normal until the production environment is restored.

PlateSpin Protect enables you to:

  • Quickly recover workloads upon failure

  • Simultaneously protect multiple workloads

  • Test the failover workload without interfering with your production environment

  • Fail back failover workloads to either their original or to completely new infrastructures, physical or virtual

  • Take advantage of existing external storage solutions, such as SANs
