I Getting Started

PlateSpin Transformation Manager is a migration lifecycle solution for large-scale data center and enterprise transformation projects. You can plan, schedule, execute, and monitor server migrations across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. Its multi-tenancy architecture segregates data for organizations and projects, ensuring data confidentiality for each organization and project.

PlateSpin Transformation Manager includes PlateSpin Migrate Connector, which your administrator deploys in your migration environment to help capture details for source workloads and target platforms. In a PlateSpin Migration Factory deployment, Migrate Connector also integrates PTM with PlateSpin Migrate to automate migration of workloads to supported platforms and to track external migrations performed on Migrate servers.

As a PTM user, most of your interactions with PlateSpin Transformation Manager are performed in its Web Interface. Review the following sections to get familiar with the PlateSpin Transformation features and how to leverage them for workload transformation planning.

For information about managing the PlateSpin Transformation Manager application, users, and global settings, see the PTM 2019.5 Administrator Guide.
