10.1 Deployment for Migration to VMware vCloud

You can deploy a PlateSpin Migrate server on premise in your data center with the source workloads or in the appropriate VMware vCloud Organization.

For an on-premise Migrate server deployment, a site-to-site VPN connection is required between the data center and your account in the vCloud cloud. Figure 10-1 shows the location of various components in your vCloud migration environment and the communications between them. See Section 10.2, Planning For Migrating Workloads to VMware vCloud Director.

NOTE:Figure 10-1 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 Section 2.6.2, Requirements for Workload Registration and Section 19.7, Registering Workloads and Discovering Details with Migrate Agent.
