With the agreement, PlateSpin, which provides software that analyzes physical and virtual resources and provides OS portability between physical and virtual environments, will support Virtual Iron’s enterprise-class virtualization and management platform. PlateSpin PowerConvert is an automated software solution that enables customers to migrate data, applications, and operating systems across physical, virtual, blade and image-based infrastructures in any direction. The combination of PlateSpin PowerConvert and Virtual Iron will provide users with the ability to migrate physical servers into Virtual Iron virtual infrastructure to quickly achieve the benefits of large-scale server consolidation, rapid provisioning, high availability and capacity management. General availability is planned for November. The companies also announced that they will make available PlateSpin PowerRecon with support for Virtual Iron at the same time. PlateSpin PowerRecon provides analysis capabilities that optimize the consolidation of physical servers into virtual servers. The software remotely collects all the relevant hardware inventory data, resource utilization and workload statistics that create the foundation for server consolidation projects. This allows users to remotely identify what physical and virtual resources exist in the data center and presents a complete hardware, software, and services inventory. The partnership allows users to easily identify consolidation candidates and perform fully automated migrations of a broad-based set of enterprise workloads. This enables dramatic reductions in operational costs involved in server migration activities. Read the full press release here. Virtual Strategy Magazine also has a podcast up on the announced partnership.
