OpenText™ Migrate

OpenText ™ Migrate (formally known as Carbonite Migrate) simplifies the process of moving physical, virtual, and cloud workloads across any distance with minimal risk and near-zero downtime. By automating complex, manual steps into a few easy tasks, it reduces effort and helps you achieve your migration goals efficiently and reliably.

Many organisations hesitate to migrate data due to concerns about downtime and potential data loss. However, migrations are often essential for reasons such as mergers, relocations, hardware or software upgrades, and transitions to the cloud. Carbonite makes these moves seamless and less disruptive, ensuring your workloads are transferred efficiently and securely.

Migrate Deployment Model
Migrate-Deplyment-model
Centralised
Management

Orchestrates the entire migration, from system discovery to provisioning target environments and final cutover.

Real-Time 
Synchronisation

Utilises byte-level replication to maintain an up-to-date replica of data, applications, and servers, including permissions and encryption settings.

Efficient Data 
Transfer

Secures data with AES 256-bit encryption while maximising bandwidth efficiency through compression and throttling.

Seamless 
Testing

Validates and tests target systems without disrupting ongoing operations.

Fast 
Cutovers

Automates cutover processes, completing them in seconds or minutes, with an easy reversion option if needed.

Repeatable and Predictable

Ensures consistent outcomes via a unified console, automated scripts, or third-party integrations.

Full Server Lift and Shift

OpenText Migrate simplifies full server migrations by enabling the transfer of an entire system's state to virtual machines (VMs) or physical servers across any infrastructure. This agent-based solution offers near real-time, continuous byte-level replication between source and target systems, ensuring that data is always readily available for cutover at any time.

Key benefits include

Minimal Down time

No "final sync" is required, reducing downtime during the cutover.

Effortless Migration

Migrate servers off VMware with ease, whether it's one server or an entire estate. Data is directly copied to the target server without the need for host-level access, consolidation servers, or additional snapshot storage.

Non-Disruptive Testing:

Perform simple tests of the cutover and target system without disrupting operations.

No Extra Requirements

Eliminates the need for header conversions, sync time, or additional storage.

OpenText Migrate ensures an efficient and seamless migration process, helping businesses move their systems with minimal disruption.
