Greatly reduce migration complexity with features such bulk machine discovery, automated provisioning and isolated network integrity testing.
Migration of systems between dissimilar operating environments is an area where professional services are often deployed due to the challenges it can present, such as configuration, resource allocation and version incompatibility. The migration to Azure Stack HCI cluster is a popular option for many companies undergoing digital transformation and one that was proving cumbersome using native migration tools for a major global systems integrator. Existing tools were unable to automate the creation of migrated virtual machines within Azure Stack HCI leaving this stage as a manual process that would be impractical for large scale migrations. There was a clear need for an improved migration workflow for current and future Azure Stack HCI projects.
Cristie Software worked closely with the client’s integration team to further refine the VMware to Hyper-V & Azure Stack HCI migration capabilities of Cristie’s CloneManager software. The enhancements solved the limitations encountered using native migration tools, including automatic VM creation within Azure Stack HCI for multiple systems and additional difficulties found when migrating systems within the customer’s demilitarized zone perimeter network (DMZ). The Cristie Software development team are continually improving migration capabilities between a wide range of operating environments. Customers can benefit from these enhancements with each new release of the Cristie Virtual Appliance (VA) software.
Using Cristie CloneManager and the Cristie Virtual Appliance, migration groups could be created so that application groups could be managed and migrated together. Continuous synchronization could then be enabled to reduce cutover times. Migration groups can be rebooted at the group level to start simultaneously, or can be orchestrated to boot in a specific order if required.
Directly migrate to a wide variety of virtual and cloud-based platforms. Provide seamless cloud onboarding with simple licensing that includes 12 months free support & maintenance. Contact us to obtain the latest list of supported migration platforms!
Backup protects data, but it does not guarantee recovery after a ransomware attack. Modern threats often target operating systems, infrastructure, and backup environments themselves. This article explains why organizations must go beyond backup and implement automated system recovery, cleanroom recovery environments, and cyber-resilient disaster recovery strategies.
Cyber resilience goes beyond traditional cybersecurity. It ensures organizations can withstand cyberattacks, recover infrastructure quickly, and maintain business operations. This guide explains how enterprise IT leaders can build a cyber resilience strategy using automated system recovery, cleanroom recovery environments, and continuous recovery assurance to minimize downtime and protect critical systems.
FSBlocker introduces kernel-level application-based file access control designed to protect critical data from ransomware and unauthorized modification. By intercepting file system calls and enforcing configurable policies, it prevents malicious encryption attempts and safeguards backup repositories, helping organizations strengthen cyber resilience and ensure the integrity of their recovery infrastructure.
# ## News: Cristie Software announces FSBlocker, a kernel-level driver for application-based access control of critical data.
Cristie Software has launched FSBlocker, a kernel-level driver providing application-based access control for Windows systems. It prevents unauthorized modification or deletion of critical data, including backup stores. The utility intercepts file system calls to block malicious encryption attempts, offering a robust defense against ransomware.
