What similarities are there between migrations using machine image and application image?

Both approaches have the following in common:

  • Broad platform support – including Windows, Linux and UNIX
  • System portability – Note:  the machine image approach moves an entire system’s personality and AppZero moves the application. Both move to dissimilar hardware
  • Physical and virtual migration (P2P, P2V, V2P and V2V)
  • The application state can be captured for ease of cloning or movement
  • Support for both DAS and SAN booting
