PlateSpin Products - PowerConvert

Anywhere-to-anywhere portability and protection
for all workloads in the data center.

PlateSpin PowerConvert is a powerful enterprise-ready workload portability and protection solution that optimizes the data center by streaming server workloads over the network between physical servers, virtual hosts and image archives. PowerConvert remotely decouples workloads from the underlying server hardware and streams them to and from any physical or virtual host with a simple drag and drop.

Broad Multiplatform Support
PlateSpin PowerConvert provides the most comprehensive multiplatform support for mixed IT environments, enabling enterprises to easily manage, optimize and protect all workloads in the data center. With broad support for Windows and Linux, as well as leading server hardware and virtualization technologies, PowerConvert enables enterprises to profile, move, copy, protect and replicate data, applications and operating systems across infrastructure boundaries to make physical and virtual environments work as one

Enterprise-Ready Workload Migration
Successful virtualization initiatives require upfront planning and enterprise-ready solutions that automate the planning, testing and migration of server workloads. With unmatched migration speed and reliability to accommodate the world’s largest enterprise data centers, PowerConvert provides a true enterprise-ready solution for migrating, protecting and optimizing workloads. Designed to handle the real-world complexities of mixed IT environments, PowerConvert helps enterprises optimize their data centers, cross physical and virtual boundaries and avoid downtime and risk.

Cost-effective Disaster Recovery
PowerConvert provides a range of workload protection alternatives in a single product for maximum flexibility. Data centers can choose between flexible image backup and hardware-independent restore or cost-effective consolidated recovery using virtual infrastructure and whole server workload replication. In addition to file-based replication, high-speed block-level transfer enables enterprises to protect transactional workloads. Incremental transfers ensure that only changes to source data files are replicated to the target environment. Enterprises can also augment recovery plans with platform-independent full, incremental and differential images.

Live Testing and Server Sync™
Reduce the risks associated with workload relocation projects like server consolidation and data center relocation. Perform an initial transfer to the target site or host, test the workload in the new location while continuing to run the source, and then perform a final sync before cutting over the workload. Server Sync also helps when the source and destination are geographically distributed. Removing the necessity for a full system replication can dramatically accelerate workload migrations over the wide area network.

PlateSpin products allow organizations to adopt, manage and extend their use of server virtualization in the data center. With support for physical and virtual machines, as well as images, our products improve the speed and quality of server consolidation, hardware migration and disaster recovery initiatives.
