Anan Ff - PeerSpot reviewer
Stable server migration service
The documentation and videos could be improved, especially in the area of migration. Live videos would be helpful. There are very limited videos available. Moreover, the initial setup is another area of improvement. It was really difficult for us to setup. There were some difficulties with firewalls on our side.

Because of its streaming-based approach, caching and WAN optimizations, the software can support mass migration of many applications simultaneously.​
The solution implements three features which are of great value: * With Velostrata’s streaming-based approach to migration, I am able to start running apps in the cloud environment in a few minutes, regardless of how much data is associated. No special overhead costs. No need for post-migration adaptation. No need for a complex migration process that can take days or even weeks. * Velostrata is agentless, which can save many hours of labor per server, and because it moves the actual instance of the application to the cloud, cutover is fast, does not require complex synchronization and does not risk data loss. * Before Velostrata, the complexity of migration projects left me in a public cloud vendor lock-in after choosing my supplier. Velostrata grants me the freedom to move applications back on-premise or to another cloud provider.

Overview

AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) is an agentless service which makes it easier and faster for you to migrate thousands of on-premises workloads to AWS. AWS SMS allows you to automate, schedule, and track incremental replications of live server volumes, making it easier for you to coordinate large-scale server migrations.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Velostrata software lets you move workloads to the public cloud in minutes, while controlling and automating where storage resides—on premises, in the cloud, or a combination of both.

Our patent pending technology uniquely decouples compute (VMs) from storage (VMDKs), and provides intelligent streaming, WAN and storage optimization, multi-tier caching, and data pre-fetching capabilities that make it possible to move compute to the cloud in minutes—and seamlessly move storage if and when it makes sense. These patent-pending technologies ensure optimal application performance, even over a WAN. Even better, you can move applications to AWS or Azure without changing the application, modifying the image, or changing your management processes.
