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.“
– Joris Haverkort, 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.“

Manual Rip and Replace
How do I get this stuff Up and Running?

Tools: Bare Metal Restore
• Multiple Steps– Image Capture -> Image Deploy -> System Configuration -> Pray…
• Error Prone• NOT Cross Platform• Downtime throughout the process• Labor Intensive
© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.8
Tools: Pre-Staging + Replication
• Multiple Steps– Configure Identical OS Target -> Data Replication – System State Copy ->
Pray -> Cutover
• Software licensing complexity and cost• Replication complexity and cost• Labor Intensive

Tools: “Free” Migration tool
• Extra Manual steps– SysPrep
• Lack of Network Optimization• Single Platform Support• Minimal Error Logging

Accelerating Adoption with PlateSpin Migrate
Challenges Manual rebuild process5-7 hrs per server (depending on application)Which workloads/applications go where?Single core onto Multi-core? CPU bottle necks, I/O contention, Memory?
Solution 100% automated Live migrations45 min. to 1 ½ hr migration timePeer to Peer across the networkUp to 20 migrations per Migrate server
Server Migration project are time consuming.

Migration Project Cost vs Novell ROI
200 Server RefreshMigration time:
7 hours per server avg.
200 x 7 = 1400 hours
175 days
8 man months!
x $80hr = $112,000
200 Server Refresh w/NovellMigration Time: 3 hours per server avg.200 x 3 = 600 hours3 Concurrent migrations = 200 hours
25 days 1 month!x $80hr = $16,000
License Cost approx. = $40,000 Total Project Cost = $40k + $16k
ROI/Delta = $56,000
Customer Success Case StudyEssent

The Customer
– The leader in the Dutch energy market
– Turnover of EUR 6.4 billion in 2006
– Annual IT budget of EUR 130 million
– 12,000 employees and 800+ IT staff
– 700 servers and growing 100 per year
– A mix of virtual and physical moves
– Moving from HP to IBM hardware
Case Study

Case Study
The Challenge
– Mandate to shrink 3 datacenters into one
– Wanted to standardize IT infrastructure
– Focus on minimizing risk
© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.19
Case Study
The Solution
– Looked at VMware Converter initially – no P2P, V2P
– PlateSpin Recon to monitor the existing estate for new hardware planning and consolidation
– PlateSpin Migrate for 260 migrations (P2P and P2V) across sites

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.”

Helpful Hints and Best Practices
© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.22
Solution OverviewLarge Scale Migration
Goals• Move the maximum number of workloads in the
minimum amount of time• Eliminate/Reduce testing and configuration of migrated
workloads• Ensure migrated workloads contain the most recent
data• Reduce Migration Impact on Users, Servers and
Networks
© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.23
Solution OverviewDatacenter Move/Hardware Migration
Problems• Slow/Latent/Expensive/Busy Network connections• Small Outage Windows, weekends, 24 hours or less…• Data skew, between production workloads and migrated
workloads• Configuration and testing of migrated workloads adds
hours to each migration.• Moving To disimilar hardware archetectures, AMD to
Intel, Paxville to Dunnington XEON processors etc.• Many different operating systems within the datacenter,
that require many different migration tools
© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.24
Solution OverviewDatacenter Move/Hardware Migration
Advantages• Optimization for WAN migrations (latent/slow/throttled)
and support for staged migrations• Live Transfer and Server Sync technology reduce
production downtime, and WAN bandwidth requirements.
• Data consistency is ensured between Source and target workloads with Server Sync.
• Automation of common post migration configuration and testing tasks
• Agnostic Operating System and Hardware Platform support
