MIGRATION METHODS
VAiLPLEX allows you to better identify the migration approach that will provide the service levels and work within the acceptable downtime windows the application or workload requires
Network Bandwidth
VAiLPLEX provides a unique ability to model the network capacity & bandwidth that is expected to position the workload in the new site or to the cloud as well as support the chattiness of the workload back to the original site once the workload is relocated
Move Groups/Bundles
VAiLPLEX allows easy definition of servers & workloads based on the application or workload supported, along with servers, workstations, shared services and other components so that no surprises are encountered on move day.
Application Mapping
VAiLPLEX provides unique insight into workloads from a port & protocol perspective that typically is only seen in much more expensive tools. Heat maps, workload verification & activity by hour is very useful when deciding on your most effective move windows.
At Sandpiper Data Systems
VAiLPLEX was built from the ground up as a data center transition discovery, planning, design, modeling and execution control management tool. No other tool on the market today was designed to specifically support data center transition projects. VAiLPLEX provides an authoritative repository of all migration, relocation or transition components ensuring you no longer reply on possibly thousands of spreadsheets that are most likely out of date.

Application Mapping

Sandpiper Announces VAiLPLEX Transition ‘Seed Bundle’ Analysis
Sandpiper understands that not all workloads can be reviewed, assessed and modeled on an individual, per-server basis. The ability to ‘group’ or ‘bundle’ servers together as ‘seeds’ to create the initial analysis view is a powerful way to represent and validate more of an ‘application’ or ‘lines-of-business’ perspective.
