9.1 Deployment for Migration to Azure

You can deploy a PlateSpin Migrate server on premise in your data center with the source workloads or in the appropriate Microsoft Azure Cloud environment: Azure global or sovereign Azure China.

For an on-premise Migrate server deployment, a site-to-site VPN connection is required between the data center and your account in the Azure cloud. Figure 9-1 shows the location of various components in your Azure migration environment and the communications between them. See Azure Prerequisites for Using an On-Premise Migrate Server.

NOTE:Figure 9-1 depicts automated discovery and the network requirements for Windows and Linux workloads. You can alternatively use Migrate Agent on the source workload to register the workload and send its inventory details to PlateSpin Migrate server using HTTPS (TCP/443). See Requirements for Workload Registration and Registering Workloads and Discovering Details with Migrate Agent.

For a cloud-based Migrate server deployment, the Azure Marketplace in the target Azure environment offers a PlateSpin Migrate Server image that is preconfigured to support its host IaaS environment. Figure 8-2 shows the location of various components in your Azure migration environment and the communications between them. See Azure Prerequisites for Using an Azure-Based Migrate Server.
