PLATESPIN TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

What is a Server Workload?

• The data apps and OS that reside on a physical or virtual host• The data, apps and OS that reside on a physical or virtual host. Business services are made up of one or more workloads.

Workload Profiling

• The workload profile captures information about the encapsulated• The workload profile captures information about the encapsulated data, applications and operating systems so that intelligent an accurate decisions can be made about change.

Workload Portability

• Workload Portability™ enables server workloads to be migrated• Workload Portability™ enables server workloads to be migrated within and across infrastructure boundaries
