Private cloud platform vendor Platform9 has a new lure for disaffected VMware users: A tool that allows migrations without requiring extra hardware.
This matters because organizations that decide on major software migrations may need to continue using existing hardware, either because they don't have spare capacity among their server fleet or lack cash to update kit, but can't overwrite their existing software. Many, therefore, look for "swing capacity" - servers to use during the migration, before moving back to their everyday hardware.
