SMS Advantages

Ease of use
- You only need to install the Agent on each source server, configure migration tasks on the SMS console, and finally launch the target servers when the migration is in the Continuous sync state. SMS takes care of the rest.
- You can create a migration task in only three steps: Select the source server, configure the target server, and confirm the task settings.
Seamless migration
You can keep services running throughout the migration process.
- If you choose not to automatically execute incremental synchronizations after the full migration is complete, you only need to pause services on the source server briefly before the final synchronization starts. After the final synchronization is complete, you can start services on the target server immediately. This minimizes the service downtime.
- If you choose to automatically execute incremental synchronizations after the full migration is complete, you only need to stop services temporarily before launching the target server. This minimizes the service downtime.
  
  SMS does not support continuous synchronization for Linux file-level migrations.
Robust compatibility
- SMS can migrate x86 physical servers and VMs in on-premises environments and on many popular private and public clouds.
- SMS can migrate over 90 different operating systems (OS) distributions.
Fast transmission
- SMS supports block-level migration and migrates only valid data blocks.
- The migration network utilization rate reaches above 90%.
High security
- SMS authenticates the Agent using Access Key ID (AK)/Secret Access Key (SK) pairs.
- SMS uses dynamically generated SSL certificates and keys to encrypt transmission channels for ensuring data security.
