intro

What is Live VM Migration?

Live VM migration enables you to migrate your Virtual Machines (VMs) from your primary hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) to target secondary or remote sites or public / hosted clouds without any interruption or downtime.
With Live VM migration, your VMs are migrated while your end users, applications and projects continue to use them, write on them and read from them.

There is no interruption, the process is seamless and all newly created data is synced and transferred.

StoneFly Live Migration – Virtual Machine Migration Software 2

StoneFly Product Overview

Affordable & Seamless VM Migration

Conventional VM migrations involve a backup and restore process. Such processes are disruptive and interrupt operations until the migration process is incomplete.

Our live VM migration services make sure that your VMs are migrated without any interruption.

StoneFly live VM migration services enable you to migrate individual VMs and bulk or groups of VMs to remote sites. The migration software leverages the IO filter based on the VMware vSphere APIs for IO (VAIO) filter.

This implies that our product is VMware certified and it enables you to leverage the live VM migration capability whether you are using VMFS, NFS, or vSAN for your data stores.

Certified

VM Migration DTDs

Offload your VMs to a physical device (Data Transfer Device) for transportation to target site and re-hydrate newly written data at the target site over the wire.

StoneFly DTDs enable you to overcome your network, bandwidth and file size limitations while securely migrating your critical VMs without disruption.

The VM migration software captures “newly” edited or created data after the data copy using the IO filter. Once the DTD completes offloading at the target site, the VM migration software reconciles and syncs the “new” data over the network.

Benefits of StoneFly Live VM Migration

Seamless Integration

StoneFly Live Migration seamlessly integrates with VMware vSphere and it supports any storage – VMFS, NFS and Virtual SAN (vSAN) to help with a variety of enterprise use-cases

Secure VM Migration

The VM migration process, whether it’s done on the wire or using StoneFly DTDs, is secured with state-of-the-art advanced encryption technology to prevent malicious access and data loss

Flexible Migration Options

Our VM migration services offer you the choice to migrate your VMs to offsite / remote locations or to public / hosted clouds seamlessly.

Brief Overview

Key Features of VM Migration Software

Fault-Tolerant

In the event of an incomplete migration or interruption (due to network issues, host failure, or any other reason) the migration process is resumed from the point of interruption instead of starting from the beginning.

Migration Time Estimation

Run the migration software in “observation mode” prior to the migration and estimate how long it will take for you to migrate your VMs to the target location.

Orchestration & Automation

Automate individual VM migration to and startup at the destination site. Independent VMs can be migrated and then started as a group with administrative control of the change-over.

One-Time Migration Utility

Once your VM migrations are completed, you can remove all “migration components” and clean up your virtualization environments.

 

Effective Control & Ease-of-Use

The VM migration engine can be installed through a plug-in within the vSphere client. The plug-in puts you in control of your VM migrations (network-based & DTD migrations) delivering all the functionality including throttling, scheduling and more.

Supported Datastore Types

You can move VMs and their data from any VMware-supported storage SAN, NAS, Virtual Volumes, Virtual SAN or other HCI.
