Platespin
PlateSpin PowerConvert is a powerful workload portability solution that provides the flexibility to configure and optimize the data center by streaming workloads over the network between physical servers, blade infrastructures, virtual hosts and image and backup archives. PowerConvert is the first and only solution that remotely decouples workloads from the underlying server hardware and streams them to and from any physical or virtual host with a simple drag and drop.
More than Just P2V
Physical-to-virtual (P2V) workload conversions shouldn’t be a one-time activity. P2V migrations are a critical component for the successful adoption of virtualization, but to ensure optimal data center efficiency, enterprises need the flexibility to move and rebalance workloads in any direction between physical and virtual hosts. PlateSpin PowerConvert allows anywhere-to-anywhere portability and protection for all workloads in the data center.
PlateSpin PowerRecon Virtual Infrastructure Edition addresses two key areas of virtual infrastructure management. With powerful new chargeback and virtual machine growth reporting features, PowerRecon automatically converts IT resource usage data into billable values over set time periods and delivers chargeback reports to business units. VM growth reports help organizations control the expansion of virtual machines and avoid virtual sprawl.

The cost savings and environmental benefits of virtualization are closely aligned. By consolidating servers into more energy-efficient virtual machine hosts or blade servers, organizations can retire old, power-hungry hardware and optimize underutilized servers to achieve significant savings in space, power and cooling requirements. PowerRecon makes the green data center a reality by allowing organizations to assess the potential cost savings in power, cooling and space that can be achieved through consolidation.
