Transitional Data Services and Carbonite launched an integration between TDS's TransitionManager and Carbonite Migrate to reduce the friction associated with most migration projects. To test the benefit of using the integrated solution, TDS and Carbonite compared resources needed, number of events and costs associated with both physical-to-virtual and virtual-to-virtual migrations for 60 servers located in an on-premise data center to a new on-premise site. The results showed the free tools required more than double the resources (62 vs 28), caused more than 4 times the events (17 vs 4) and cost 12 times more than using Carbonite Migrate and TransitionManager desktop orchestration.
