This video will show you how easy it is to migrate live running Windows server from VMware ESX to Exoscale Cloud.
Specifically I’m using Carbonite Migrate to make a real time copy of a live Windows 2019 virtual machine currently running on a VMware ESX and replicating it to a virtual machine I have previously provisioned in Exoscale Cloud.
Downtime is kept to the absolute minimum. Installation, configuration and the mirroring (synchronisation) of the server, it’s configuration, applications and data, all take place while the source ESX virtual machine remains live, and it’s only for the last couple of minutes at the end, when the ESX source server is shutdown and the new Exoscale server is started up, which typically takes10 to 15 minutes.
The same type of migration could be performed for other Windows versions (2003, 2008, 2008R2, 2012, 2012R2, 2016, 2019, 2022) and there is a very similar workflow available for Linux Environments (Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Rocky). These servers could be physical, virtual or cloud, and they could be running pretty much any application.
The user guide for the Full Server Migration Workflow as demonstrated in this video can be found here:

Thanks for sharing the content here !
You demonstrated Carbonite Migrate, but can we consider that Carbonite Recover is running the same way ? What's the difference between both products ?
Also can you share your feedback about Exoscale Cloud ?
