Who are PlateSpin?

PlateSpin products allow organisations to adopt, manage and extend their use of server virtualisation in the data centre. With support for physical and virtual machines, as well as images, PlateSpin products improve the speed and quality of server consolidation, hardware migration and disaster recovery initiatives.

PlateSpin Forge

PlateSpin Forge is a disaster recovery hardware appliance that provides complete protection for server workloads straight out of the box. In the event of production server downtime or a disaster, protected workloads can be rapidly recovered and continue to run on the PlateSpin Forge appliance until they can be restored to the production environment.

• Recover multiple workloads using a single recovery appliance
• Consolidate workloads for a 10 to 1 or 25 to 1 workload protection ratio
• Power on recovery workloads with single click
• Rapidly restore workloads to the same or different hardware
• Quickly run DR “fire drills” to test restore times and disaster readiness
• Easily monitor and report on key replication and recovery functions
• Improve RTO and RPO without costly hardware/software redundancy

PlateSpin PowerConvert

PowerConvert empowers enterprises to manage and optimise the data centre by migrating server workloads over the network between physical servers, virtual hosts and image archives. 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.

• Migrate and protect workloads regardless of platform or virtual host
• Drag and drop workloads across physical and virtual hosts
• Reduce risk with automated planning, migration and live testing
• Improve the speed and quality of data centre initiatives
• Use virtualisation as a cost-effective disaster recovery platform
• Augment existing recovery plans with efficient imaging support

PlateSpin PowerRecon

PowerRecon is a sophisticated planning and analysis solution. It takes the guesswork out of complex server consolidation, disaster recovery, capacity planning and other data centre initiatives by remotely discovering software and services inventory across the data centre and analysing key workload utilisation metrics to develop optimal server consolidation and disaster recovery plans.

• Collect inventory and utilisation data across thousands of servers
• Determine the optimal fit between server resources and workloads
• Analyse power and cooling costs for green computing initiatives
• Accelerate data centre projects by generating executable plans
• Manage virtual infrastructure growth on an ongoing basis
• Chargeback to business units based on resource allocation and usage
