Taking a trip to the Cloud

Cristie will be around and about at the Cloud World Forum this year, which is being held at the National Hall Olympia in London. We will be giving some teasers about the up and coming features of CloneManager. 

Our new machine migration solution has just recently been released to the market and is perfect for service providers and data centers looking to move into the Cloud. Keep an eye on this product, as new features are in the works for Q3.

If you would like to meet up for a chat at Olympia, please take a look at our Events page at: www.cristie.com/about-us/events/

Cristie Software releases its cloud migration solution, CloneManager

Cristie Software has made the first release of CloneManager; our migration solution for Windows and Linux servers. CloneManager provides end users with the ability to migrate live machines to and from physical, virtual or cloud based systems with no need for similar hardware at both ends.

CloneManager uses a ‘drag and drop’ interface to provide a simple but powerful mechanism for real time migration to similar or dissimilar hardware.  The software is scalable from single machine migrations to large move groups which can be scheduled to migrate an entire data centre over a few days.  

 

The software integrates seamlessly with VMware vSphere™ and vCloud™ targets allowing virtual machines and vApps to be created on the fly. The software also optimises the partition layout, cpu and memory allocation and network mappings of the new VM based on the characteristics of the source machine. CloneManager also features CloneSync, a feature that allows a cloned machine to be periodically synced with its source machine.

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.
