Solutions
Anywhere-to-Anywhere Workload Portability and Protection

PlateSpin provides a unified suite of solutions to help enterprises adopt, manage and extend their use of server virtualization in the data center. PlateSpin Workload Portability technology liberates server workloads from hardware platforms, allowing enterprises to migrate, protect, provision and optimize workloads across physical and virtual environments. With integrated workload profiling and planning, PlateSpin solutions improve the speed and quality of data center initiatives and ease the burden of managing mixed IT environments.


PlateSpin Solutions Enables the Following Key Initiatives:
Server Consolidation
Consolidate physical servers to virtual machines or blade servers faster and easier by automating the capacity planning and workload migration phases of a consolidation project.

Disaster Recovery
Leverage virtualization to create a cost-effective warm standby system that makes recovery in the event of an outage as fast and easy as powering on a virtual machine.

Hardware Lease Migrations
Move workloads from end-of-lease servers to new hardware infrastructures quickly and easily with easy physical-to-physical (P2P) migrations.

Data Center Relocation
Create an inventory of all data center equipment that needs to be moved, and then stream server workloads directly from one location to another over the network.

Virtual Infrastructure Management
Monitor and rebalance workloads between physical and virtual hosts and automate management tasks such as VM growth reporting and IT chargeback for virtual resources.
