Automated and accurate server migration
Insight Control server migration software enables you to migrate an existing server to a new
physical or virtual server. The migration process is automated, accurate, affordable, and
simple to use. Server migration features enable you to replicate the servers that are running
correctly, but might be under-performing or are over-provisioned, to a new physical or virtual
server in an automated and accurate way.
See
“Migrating existing physical or virtual servers to another server” (page 24)
for more
information.
