The Cristie VA can easily provision multiple systems within Azure Stack HCI from a wide range of source platforms.
Simplify the migration of multiple systems to Azure Stack HCI with automated provisioning.
Provide cloud on-boarding as-a-service with Cristie replication multi-tenancy capabilities.
Migration groups allow specific comigrations and provisioning parameters to be applied to multiple systems.
Physical, virtual or cloud migration in any direction for maximum flexibility and contingency.
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!
Here’s an update on what’s new for the Cristie Virtual Appliance. The 5.3.1 release includes lots of new functionality including Continuous Recovery Assurance for Rubrik VM snapshots.
Cleanroom recovery is becoming essential in the fight against ransomware. By restoring systems in an isolated environment, organizations can validate integrity, eliminate hidden threats, and prevent reinfection. This approach ensures secure, reliable recovery of infrastructure, helping businesses minimise downtime and strengthen cyber resilience after sophisticated cyberattacks.
Modern ransomware targets entire infrastructures, not just data. Traditional backups often fail because they don’t restore operating systems or configurations. This guide explores building a cyber-resilient strategy using automated system recovery and cleanroom environments to bridge the gap between backup and full operational restoration, ensuring rapid recovery after a sophisticated attack.
When cyberattacks cripple critical infrastructure, organizations must rebuild systems quickly and securely. Bare metal recovery enables complete physical system recovery by restoring operating systems, applications, and data from trusted backups. Automated recovery solutions accelerate ransomware system recovery, reduce downtime, and help organizations restore operations rapidly after major cyber incidents worldwide.
