MILPITAS, Calif., and ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich., Aug. 6, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RackWare and WSM International today announced an agreement that brings together RackWare automated cloud management software and WSM migration services specialists to assist customers with transitioning workloads to public cloud computing resources.
WSM is now a certified RackWare Partner and has added RackWare Management Module (RMM) software to its complement of solutions that can help quickly and easily migrate customer workloads. RackWare now has the ready resources and market-leading expertise of WSM certified specialists to help customers through the migration process.
The companies recently worked together on an enterprise customer migration project to transition a custom application and SQL stack on Windows 2012 servers from a different managed hosting service provider to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud (U.S.) platform.
"Our software provides automation when migrating on-premises workloads to public clouds accelerating migration projects from several weeks to just days and saving over $1,000 per server in the process," said Sash Sunkara, CEO and co-founder of RackWare. "We are delighted to partner with WSM to offer a capable services complement and help our customers move smoothly through the migration process."
RMM is capable of cloning production servers by enabling full replication of the operating system, applications and data from production servers into cloud recovery instances.
"RackWare's software gives us an innovative and market-tested tool to apply when we're helping customers migrate workloads," said Ryan Pelerin, founding partner and chief operating officer, WSM. "We're motivated by anything we can do to make migrations faster and more efficient."
