PowerConvert


Multiplatform workload portability and protection.
PlateSpin PowerConvert empowers enterprises to manage and optimize the data center by migrating 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 and virtual host with a simple drag and drop. The flexibility to move and rebalance workloads in any direction between physical and virtual hosts – physical-to-virtual, virtual-to-physical, virtual-to-virtual, physical-to-physical, in and out of imaging formats and so on – ensures optimal data center efficiency.

With PowerConvert, enterprises can continually match service level requirements with available resources by rapidly reconfiguring, relocating and optimizing workloads – all from a single point of control without having to be in physical contact with source or target servers

Together, PowerConvert and PowerRecon, PlateSpin’s advanced analysis and planning software, provide a comprehensive data center management solution that includes integrated planning, testing and migration for critical enterprise initiatives such as server consolidation, hardware lease migration, data center relocation and disaster recovery.
