New Cristie Software Solution Enables an Automated Process for Migration to the Cloud

PRESS RELEASE 9th October 2012, Stroud, UK.

Cristie Software today announced that it will shortly be releasing CloneManager, a new software product for migration and cloning. CloneManager provides a simple automated process for moving or copying physical or virtual machines to cloud and other environments.  It is seamlessly integrated with VMware vCloud Director and other cloud management software.

CloneManager migrations can be either real time (live) or staged to an intermediate storage device.  It also provides a discovery service which will be used to monitor the utilisation of memory, processing, storage and network resources by source machines prior to migration so that the target machines can be correctly provisioned.  In addition it provides the ability to periodically synchronise the target machine with the source machine thereby creating a warm clone that can be used for DR.  Furthermore the software allows for a range of configuration options to be specified or changed on the target machine - either in advance or during the migration process.

Ian Cameron, CEO of Cristie Software, said “We have been developing this software in close conjunction with one of the largest global service providers who require a solution to on-board their customers.  In addition to providing fast, automated migration of individual machines or entire data centres to and from cloud the software also provides the ability to create clone machines that can be used for DR and business continuance.”

Cristie Software expects to announce the general release of CloneManager within the first few weeks of 2013.  CloneManager will be available through Cristie Software’s existing reseller network as well as being targeted at large cloud service providers.
