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.

NOTE:For information about cloud-to-cloud (C2C) deployment requirements for migration to Azure, see Section 12.0, Prerequisites for Cloud-to-Cloud Migrations.

9.1.1 Migrate Server Deployed on Premise

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 environment. Figure 9-1 and Figure 9-2 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: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.

9.1.2 Migrate Server Deployed in Azure Cloud

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 9-3 and Figure 9-4 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.
