SMS Advantages

  • Ease of use
    • You only need to install and configure the Agent on the source server, configure the target server and start the migration, and launch the target server when the migration is in the Continuous sync state. SMS takes care of the remaining works.
    • You can start the migration in only three steps: select the source server and target server, configure server details, and confirm migration information.
  • Seamless migration

    You can maintain service running through out the full migration process.

    • If you choose not to perform a continuous synchronization after the full migration, you only need to pause services briefly before the final synchronization. After the final synchronization is complete, you can start services on the target server immediately. This minimizes the service downtime.
    • If you choose to perform a continuous synchronization after the full migration, you only need to stop services temporarily before launching the target server. This minimizes the service downtime.
  • Robust compatibility
    • SMS can migrate x86 virtual and physical servers on premises or in many popular clouds.
    • SMS allows migration of over 90 different operating systems (OS) and distributions.
  • Fast transmission

    The migration network utilization reaches above 90%.

  • High security
    • SMS authenticates the Agent using an AK/SK pair.
    • SMS uses a dynamically generated SSL certificate and key pair to encrypt the transmission channel for data security.
