ATLANTA, Sept. 16, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Racemi, the leading provider of automated server migration software that streamlines the process of migrating workloads to public, private, and hybrid clouds, today announced global support for IBM public cloud offerings, providing clients an automated migration path to their IBM cloud of choice, at no charge for a limited time.
Racemi's Cloud Path software as a service (SaaS) enables IBM customers to migrate server workloads to IBM's SoftLayer cloud services at no charge (see terms and conditions here).
"Working closely with IBM, we are offering customers free migrations to IBM SoftLayer's public cloud services," said James Strayer, vice president of product management, Racemi. "This ensures there a fast, easy way to move existing workloads to IBM's cloud computing platforms."
Today, clients in a variety of industries ranging from governments, banks, retailers are using IBM's cloud capabilities to drive innovation and growth. More and more clients are turning to IBM Softlayer cloud offerings as they look to adopt cloud capabilities built on an open, secure comprehensive platform giving them the option to scale as the need for service grows. SoftLayer delivers Infrasturcture-as-a-Service to 21,000 clients across all industries.
Details about this offer and the SaaS migration service for IBM cloud customers can be accessed at www.racemi.com/ibm.
Cloud Path software-as-a-service (SaaS) is a self-service portal that automates the migration of existing Windows and Linux servers to public cloud services. There is no infrastructure to deploy or maintain on the customer's site and key features such as Live Capture ensure there is no server downtime. All customer data is secured and compressed using AES/RSA SSL encryption over firewall- friendly, fault tolerant outbound HTTPS connections to provide maximum protection and reliability.
"This new migration service will expedite IBM clients' 'on-ramp'
to the enterprise cloud," said Kit Linton, director of Cloud
Infrastructure Offerings. "As more clients demand enterprise cloud
capabilities, they are looking to IBM to deliver the security,
privacy and reliability of open, private clouds
with the economy and speed of a public cloud through IBM
cloud."
Racemi's server imaging technology quickly clones server workloads
between dissimilar physical, virtual or private cloud platforms,
reducing the migration process from days to minutes. This results
in an average labor savings of over $800 per server versus a manual
migration. The Racemi SaaS captures the entire server
stack--including operating system, applications, and
configuration--and automatically converts it to run on the new
cloud platform by applying the necessary tools and drivers during
the migration process. This ensures existing workloads are migrated
in their time-tested configuration, resulting in better reliability
and supportability.
IBM has invested $6 billion in more than a dozen cloud acquisitions
since 2007, including, most recently, SoftLayer
to extend IBM's public cloud capabilities and help clients with an
easy on-ramp to the enterprise cloud.
