Platespin

PlateSpin has helped thousands of customers worldwide accelerate their server consolidation and disaster recovery projects by enabling freedom of movement between physical servers, virtual machines and image archives. Platespin software provides in-depth analytical tools to better understand ongoing workload performance and capacity. This includes both virtualized and non-virtualized workloads for a holistic view of the entire enterprise. Reports allow IT decision makers to see how all workloads are performing over time and make better decisions on placement (where the workload should reside), capacity (has the workload been right-sized), and business continuity (should this workload be protected to another site).

Key Benefits:

• Platespin Recon. Provides a common interface reagardless of Hypervisor in the case of Virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V, Xen) or physical workload for ongoing performance and capacity management. Successful data center initiatives require considerable up-front planning and analysis to ensure a maximum return on investment. PlateSpin Recon is a sophisticated workload profiling, analysis and planning solution that provides new levels of intelligence, visual analysis and forecasting for optimizing the data center. PlateSpin Recon collects inventory and workload utilization statistics for a clear and concise picture of the application services running in the data center and how their resources are being used. With broad multiplatform support, PlateSpin Recon takes the guesswork out of server consolidation, disaster recovery, capacity planning and green data center initiatives.
• Platespin Migrate. PlateSpin Migrate is a workload portability and migration solution that migrates server workloads over the network between physical servers, virtual hosts and image archives. PlateSpin Migrate remotely decouples workloads from the underlying server hardware and streams them to and from any physical or virtual host – all from a single point of control. With the broadest multiplatform support for hypervisors and operating systems, PlateSpin Migrate provides organizations with a mature, proven solution for testing, migrating and rebalancing workloads across infrastructure boundaries from desktop to data center.
• Platespin Protect. PlateSpin Protect is a powerful workload protection solution that protects and rapidly recovers whole server workloads including data, applications and operating systems – all from a single point of control. In the event of a production server outage or disaster, workloads can be rapidly powered on and continue to run as normal until the production environment is restored. PlateSpin Protect provides a simple, flexible and cost-effective solution for protecting physical and virtual workloads in the data center.
• Platespin Forge. PlateSpin Forge is a disaster recovery hardware appliance that provides out-of-the-box protection for server workloads. In the event of production server downtime or a disaster, protected workloads can be rapidly recovered and continue to run on the PlateSpin Forge appliance until they can be restored to the production environment. Available in either a 10 or 25 workload protection model, PlateSpin Forge allows enterprises to cost-effectively match their recovery investment with the size of their data center. The latest version provides SAN integration, support for 64-bit Windows workloads and multiple recovery points for greater flexibility and workload integrity.
• Platespin Orchestrate. You face increasing pressure to reduce the costs involved in delivering IT services. Virtualization is the first step in controlling your operational expenses via consolidation. The next step is applying intelligence to how your virtual assets are managed. PlateSpin Orchestrate helps you to maximize the value of your technologies by enabling your physical and virtual resources to work as one. PlateSpin Orchestrate excels at managing virtual resources and controlling the entire lifecycle of each virtual machine. Combined with built-in automation, this enables you to optimize the management of your heterogeneous data center and better align resource usage with business requirements.
