When it comes to migration of thousands of servers, this translates to significant cost savings in manual labor. Unique workload streaming and auto-adaptation makes it possible to have stateful workloads up and running in the cloud in minutes, with no risk of data loss or complex cutover and synchronization procedures. Velostrata also works at scale, allowing migration of 100s of servers per day. System management is easy via a vCenter plugin or REST API.
