Product Description
PlateSpin Migrate enables you to migrate heterogeneous workloads across x86-based physical, virtual, image, and cloud infrastructures in your data center. It decouples the workload infrastructure from its software (operating system, applications, and data) to allow any-to-any migrations. Migrate provides tools to easily discover workloads and hosts in your environment. You can efficiently configure, execute, and test workload even before the actual cutover, and also monitor the status of workload migration.
PlateSpin Migrate 12.2 introduces support for migration of workloads to VMware vCloud Director and Amazon Web Services (AWS). It also enhances the support for migration of workloads to Azure Cloud.
PlateSpin Migrate 12.2 supports automated migrations to VMware targets using PlateSpin Transformation Manager 1.1 and PlateSpin Migrate Connector.
This release is supported by a Web-based documentation set. You can view the product documentation online or download individual PDF files according to your information needs. Visit the PlateSpin Migrate 12.2 Documentation website.
