Velostrata,
a leader in cloud workload mobility, today announced it has joined the
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Competency Program and has achieved
AWS Migration Competency status. This competency validates that
Velostrata's agentless cloud migration platform can help enterprises
move complex and data-heavy workloads to AWS. Velostrata software makes
it possible to easily move workloads to AWS in minutes, test
applications before they are migrated without taking production
applications offline, and supports hundreds of simultaneous migrations
while optimizing bandwidth usage through built-in advanced WAN
optimization, compression and cross workload deduplication. Customers
can access Velostrata on AWS Marketplace or directly from Velostrata,
enabling them to migrate applications with unprecedented speed,
simplicity and scale.
"While
some companies are still dipping their toes in the cloud, our
forward-thinking customers are quickly and successfully moving thousands
of applications to AWS. We are happy that Velostrata speeds and
simplifies the migration process and customers can migrate to the cloud
with confidence," said Ady Degany, co-founder and CTO of Velostrata.
"Achieving AWS Migration Competency status is another testimony to
Velostrata's product quality. Our cooperation with AWS is important to
our success and results in a better experience for our customers."
Velostrata
software uniquely and transparently decouples compute from storage in
workloads, making it possible to migrate compute in minutes, enabling
the application to run live in cloud while storage is moving in the
background. Patented real-time workload streaming, plus deduplication,
caching, and other advanced WAN optimizations ensure full application
performance despite the WAN "gap" between the cloud and the migration
source on-premises. Velostrata is agentless and automatically adapts
virtual and physical server workloads to run in the cloud target -
saving hours of labor per server. System management is easy via a
vCenter plugin, powershell, or REST API. Mass migration and movement of
complex application stacks can be automated by integration to an
enterprise management system or by using Velostrata's Automation Runbook
feature. With Velostrata v2.7, enterprises can migrate any workload to
AWS, including Windows and popular Linux versions such as RedHat,
CentOS, Ubuntu and SUSE.
Velostrata offers unique capabilities to customers, including:
- Test Before Migration: Velostrata's
Test Clone feature makes it possible to move an exact clone of any
workload to AWS in minutes, without taking production applications
offline.
- Mass Migration Support: Deduplication
and WAN optimizations make it possible to move many workloads
simultaneously to the cloud over modest bandwidth links.
- Run in the Cloud in Minutes: When
ready to migrate, Velostrata moves the actual instances of servers to
AWS in minutes. Data is transferred in the background while the
application runs, and any changes to data are captured in the cloud, so
there is no complicated syncing, cutover or risk of data loss.
- Safety Net: With Velostrata, IT managers can roll back individual workloads on-premises in minutes.
Pricing and Availability
Velostrata software is available for Linux and Windows on AWS Marketplace with a free tier for evaluation, and it scales on a pay-as-you-go model.
