Analysis & Migration.

PlateSpin

The manual migration of servers to a physical device or virtual infrastructure can be resource intensive, complex, and often costly to the business. In addition, prior to the implementation the customer needs to consider the number of servers in their environment and the capacity utilization of each.

The solutions provided by PlateSpin make an automation of the migration process possible, and also support businesses in capturing, consolidating and optimizing their server resources.

Benefits with PlateSpin:

• Reduction of costs associated with server migration
• Sound analyses of existing server infrastructures guarantee optimum concepts for virtualisation of the data center
• Automated migrations reduce the risks associated with implementation and optimize the virtual infrastructure.
