PlateSpin products allow you to adopt, manage and extend the use of server virtualization in your data center. Supporting physical and virtual machines (VM), and images, PlateSpin products improve the speed and quality of server consolidation, hardware migration and disaster recovery initiatives.

PowerRecon - Plan and Control the Green Footprint
The cost savings and environmental benefits of virtualization are closely aligned. By consolidating servers into more energy-efficient VM hosts or blade servers, you can retire old, power-hungry hardware and optimize underutilized servers to achieve significant savings in space, power and cooling requirements. PowerRecon makes the green data center a reality by assessing the potential cost savings in power, cooling and space that can be achieved through consolidation.

PowerRecon Virtual Infrastructure Edition addresses two key areas of virtual infrastructure management. With powerful new chargeback and VM growth reporting features, PowerRecon automatically converts IT resource usage data into billable values over set time periods and delivers chargeback reports to business units. VM growth reports help you control the expansion of virtual machines and avoid virtual sprawl.

PowerConvert – Transition to a Green Footprint
PlateSpin PowerConvert is a powerful workload portability solution that provides the flexibility to configure and optimize the data center by streaming workloads over the network between physical servers, blade infrastructures, virtual hosts and image and backup archives. PowerConvert is the first and only solution that decouples workloads from the underlying server hardware and streams.

Physical-to-virtual (P2V) workload conversions shouldn’t be a one-time activity. P2V migrations are a critical component for the successful adoption of virtualization. To achieve optimal data center efficiency, you need the flexibility to move and rebalance workloads in any direction between physical and virtual hosts. PlateSpin PowerConvert allows anywhere-to-anywhere portability and protection for all workloads in the data center.
