1. Cloud Migrations Pose Important Questions
Complexity?
Multi tier apps (SAP), large DBs, app rewrites
Labor?
Specific expertise needed,
agent installs/config
Scale?
Lots of workloads, process efficiency, automation
Risk?
Avoid downtime, lengthy data transfers, testing, rollback
Cloud migration tools built for disaster recovery add more complexity:
software agents – transfer data first – complex cutovers – no rollback

2. Migrations Require a Purpose-Built, Differentiated Solution
Differentiator
Which Provides…
And Results In…
Speed
Real-time streaming, WAN optimizations
Stateful workloads boot in cloud in minutes
Apps begin running 10x faster
Meet project timelines (and budgets)
Start other IT projects sooner
Save thousands w/o redundant HW/SW
Simplicity
No agents to install, configure, manage
Automatically adapts workloads for cloud
Familiar mgmt. console (VMW)
No UI learning curve
Reduced troubleshooting throughout project
~ 5+ manual labor hours saved per server
Scale
Automated orchestration, scale-out arch.
Dozens of VMs per hour
Migrate 1000s in total
Continuous backup during migration
Rely on automation (not manual labor)
Complete projects in fewer phases, stages
Migrate 100s as if it were a single VM
Safety
Test before you migrate
Fast on-prem rollback
No-sync cutovers
Reduced downtime, especially for production apps
Avoid cloud vendor or regional lock-in

3. Velostrata’s Agile Migration & Mobility Solution – How it Works
Data Center
Velostrata on-prem
Cache
Velostrata Cloud
Cloud Storage
Storage 1
Step 1: Deployment and Architecture
Data Center:
Physical and virtual servers
For Physical, there are additional steps not in the graphic:
Install the Velos RPM (Linux Only) or load the Velostrata Connector Image into RAM
Boots the physical server from virtual media (iLO/iDRAC)
Stub VM is automatically created into vCenter for management with Velostrata (perform operations normally)
Simple Management:
vCenter Web plug-in
PowerShell Module
REST API
Cloud Deployment:
Support for AWS and Azure; Google Cloud Platform coming soon.
Deployed in clusters
Dual-node, active/active
Scale, High availability
All links between on-prem and cloud are highly WAN-optimized
Step 2: Agentless Streaming
Run in cloud in minutes
Auto adapt to cloud
Test before/while migrating
Step 3: Migrate storage
In background
While workload runs
Instant rollback
Step 4: Detach from on-prem
Convert to cloud-only
Or rollback (if needed) 2 3 4
Easy Deployment, Management
Agentless Streaming
Migrate storage
Detach from on-prem

4. Velostrata Delivering Migration Success, Tangible Benefits
More Success Stories
Rescued migration that was 6-months behind schedule
Went from 30 VMs per week to 30 VMs per day
Replication solutions were not working; way behind.
POC complete in just 2 days (4 apps, 4TB)
100X faster running workloads in cloud
10X faster project completion: 6 months to 2 weeks
In-cloud pre-migration testing to validate app performance
Now on track to meet schedule goals!
“We migrated servers to the cloud in about ten minutes. This was very quick and proves this is a fast approach, and I am absolutely convinced this is the correct approach for us moving forward”
Saved $2.8M+ w/ reduction of 5+ labor hours per server
Automated mass migration of thousands of VMs
