Migrations are often associated with disruptions in daily operations or even downtime. Migration projects can also involve tight schedules, work at weekends and overtime for the staff involved. Despite careful planning, it is not unusual for the migration to run into problems, and you are forced to go back and start all over again.
With Carbonite Migrate (formerly Double-Take) you get a different approach to migrations. You can carry out migrations in daytime, during normal office hours and without any downtime for the users.
With a migration license from Carbonite, you have 60 days to migrate from the time you start the process. The product is based on software replication from the old to the new environment and it takes place in the background while users work as usual. When the migration is tested and finished, you choose the appropriate time for ” the final cutover” to the new environment.
Carbonite works on most operating systems, regardless of hardware or disk mass and regardless of whether it is a physical, virtual or a cloud-based environment. You can migrate “from anything to anything”. This makes Carbonite unique in the marketplace.
There are many different migration solutions in the market, but common to almost all of them is that they specialize in just one type of migration. There are for example solutions only for VM Ware, only for Microsoft Azure or only for Amazon Cloud etc. A big advantage with Carbonite Migrate is that the product is generic and suitable for almost all migration situations. Therefore, it is an obvious choice to invest in Carbonite Migrate if you do a lot of migrations. Then you can standardize and streamline your processes and working methods. Should you need help, Carbonite support is available 7/24 and it is included in the product.
