Most migration tools require that you rebuild the workload for the target platform, and/or accept extended downtime while data copies over. RackWare's filesystem-level replication moves any workload to any destination, without re-architecting the application or the infrastructure underneath it. 

This technical training covers the full breadth of workload migration on the RackWare platform, from assessment and planning through initial deployment to advanced, large-scale wave planning. Designed for engineers and architects executing or planning cloud migrations. 

What You Will Learn

Platform & Migration Fundamentals 

• RackWare Migration Module (RMM) overview and licensing model 

• RackWare engine deployment options 

• Network topology and required ports 

• Supported source environments (VMware vSphere, KVM, Hyper-V, bare metal) and target environments (public, private, and sovereign clouds; OLVM; OpenStack)

Source & Target Preparation 

• Source host configuration for Windows and Linux, including service accounts and permissions 

• Target cloud configuration, including IAM roles, VPC/network settings, and access policies 

Wave Planning & Execution 

• Creating and configuring migration waves at the host and wave level 

• Pre-provisioned vs. dynamically provisioned targets 

• Delta sync mechanics and cutover-window estimation 

• DNS/Active Directory considerations for post-migration cutover 

Advanced Wave Planning 

• CSV-based wave headers for templated, large-scale deployments 

• Advanced provisioning configuration across multiple target types 

• Generating migration waves from RackWare Assessment discovery data 

Cutover & Any-to-Any Workflows 

• Non-disruptive testing of migrated hosts prior to cutover 

• Any-to-any migration paths (e.g., VMware to OLVM, AWS to OLVM); cloud repatriation and hybrid mobility workflows

Troubleshooting 

• Command-line access to job and verbose logs 

• Diagnosing common migration sync errors on Windows and Linux
