- 4. Server Migration in the Real World“The PlateSpin solution from Novell saved Essent about €2 million for the data centre consolidation project alone”Marco Spoel, Project Manager, IT Infrastructure, Essent"Using PlateSpin we were able to complete 61 migrations within the targeted migration windows, saving an average of 4 hours migration time per server.“JorisHaverkort, Product Manager at Atos Origin Netherlands"The ability to perform the migrations remotely and over the WAN with no need to be physically in contact with the source and target servers saved us weeks if not months of work.“Neil Brindley, Senior Windows Systems Engineer, Midrange Services, AXA Tech Asia Pacific

- 33. Case StudyThe SolutionLooked at VMware Converter initially – no P2P, V2PPlateSpin Recon to monitor the existing estate for new hardware planning and consolidationPlateSpin Migrate for 260 migrations (P2P and P2V) across sitesNew Site
- 34. Case Study“If we hadn’t gone with PlateSpin, it would have taken a team of 25 half a year to build all the applications in the new data center, an estimated cost of over EUR 3 million. With PlateSpin, we were able to migrate all of our servers in one month with a team of less than eight people. The PlateSpin solution brings a high return of investment. In retrospect, after seeing the time and cost savings, we would have been willing to pay a lot more for the PlateSpin solution.” Marco Spoel, Project Manager, IT Infrastructure, Essent
