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.

Advanced Analysis and Planning for Enterprise Data Centres

PlateSpin PowerRecon provides new levels of intelligence, visual analysis and forecasting for optimising the data centre by collecting hardware, software and services inventory for all server workloads with absolutely no manual effort. PowerRecon remotely gathers workload utilisation statistics for a clear and concise picture of the application services running in the data centre and how their resources are being used. PowerRecon supports the green data centre by allowing organisations to assess the potential cost savings in power, cooling and space that can be achieved through consolidation.

With broad support for today’s distributed, multi-platform environments and unprecedented scalability to accommodate the world’s largest data centres, PowerRecon provides a true enterprise-scale workload profiling and planning solution. When combined with PlateSpin PowerConvert, organisations gain a complete end-to-end solution with tightly integrated planning and execution for data centre initiatives.

Anywhere-to-Anywhere Portability and Protection for All Workloads in the Data Centre

Previously, server workloads have been tied to the hardware infrastructure on which they reside, impeding data centre flexibility and preventing the optimal use of physical and virtual resources. PlateSpin PowerConvert is a powerful workload portability™ solution that provides the flexibility to configure and optimise the data centre by streaming workloads over the network between physical servers, blade infrastructures, virtual hosts and image archives.

PowerConvert is the first and only solution that remotely decouples workloads from the underlying server hardware and streams them to and from any physical or virtual host with a simple drag and drop.

By removing the dependency between a data centre’s infrastructure layer and the business applications that run on it, PowerConvert allows organisations to continually match service level requirements with available resources by rapidly reconfiguring, relocating and optimising servers – 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 workload lifecycle management solution that includes integrated planning and execution for critical data centre initiatives such as server consolidation, provisioning, hardware or data centre migration and disaster recovery.
