VMware vCloud Air is a secure,
dedicated hybrid cloud service operated
by VMware, built on the trusted
foundation of VMware vSphere.
The service supports existing workloads
and third-party applications as well as
new application development, giving IT a
common platform for seamlessly
extending its data center to the cloud.
Migrate to vCloud Air with Near-Zero
Downtime
Businesses that want to trim computing costs and improve IT efficiencies are finding
the benefits of cloud computing to be increasingly attractive. VMware vCloud Air
allows organizations to leverage one consistent platform regardless of where
workloads are running. Additionally, customers can benefit from consistency in
heterogeneous environments between VMware datacenters, hosted datacenters and
their own internal datacenters. Traditionally, the benefits of migrating to a new
platform were tempered by the costs and risks associated with downtime. Now
there’s a way to reap the benefits of vCloud Air without sacrificing productivity.
Migrations to vCloud Air Made Easy
Multiple server and storage vendors, multiple hypervisors, complex networks, low
bandwidth and high SLAs can be daunting challenges when contemplating a move
into VMware vCloud Air. The good news is there is a solution that can help you
overcome those obstacles with ease. Vision Solutions’ Double-Take Move enables
you to perform easy, low-risk, near-zero downtime migrations from any
combination of physical, virtual or cloud platform into VMware vCloud Air. You can
protect your business’ productivity with resource friendly real-time replication
technology that keeps users and applications online during a migration. DoubleTake Move provides the flexibility to migrate a specific set of data or your entire

vCloud Air frees organizations from the unnecessary costs and restraints of the
physical data center. Vision Solutions’ Double-Take Move enhances this advantage
by performing easy anything-to-anything, anywhere-to-anywhere migrations with
near-zero downtime and no data loss. Double-Take Move makes any physical, virtual
or cloud platform workload completely mobile. It captures all of the changes users
make during the migration and replicates them to the new vCloud Air platform in realtime. Double-Take Move comes with efficiency and security options that allow you to
control how much bandwidth the migration consumes so a migration never affects
users.
How it Works
Vision Solutions’ Double-Take Move virtually eliminates user and application
downtime during migrations, including running database applications that constantly
lock their database files while they’re running. Double-Take Move precisely
duplicates the application’s native write processes with real-time transaction
awareness that never requires a quiesce, including replication of file system
metadata like permissions, attributes, compression and encryption settings.
Vision Solutions’ Double-Take Move allows you to keep your applications running
while the migration proceeds without using the spare CPU cycles and I/O on the
system. The result is a low-risk, predictable vCloud Air migration with near-zero
downtime.
