Cloudbase Solutions

Coriolis® is the simplest way to migrate Windows or Linux virtual machines alongside their associated storage and networking configurations across multiple cloud platforms.

Overview

Coriolis® performs software-defined migrations of virtual workloads among different clouds and virtualization solutions at scale, while also supporting DRaaS (disaster recovery as a service) scenarios, for moving from traditional virtualization technologies to modern cloud infrastructure.

Coriolis truly excels in automating cloud migration in a scalable and reliable way, avoiding the need for countless manual steps, notoriously error-prone, and barely documented.

  • Agentless: No Coriolis component is needed to be pre-installed on guest VMs for them to be migrated, and neither are guest credentials required.
  • Secure: All external API/data transfer operations Coriolis performs are done through secure protocols such as HTTPS and SSH.
  • Scalable Architecture: Any number of migrations/replicas can be performed at a given time, limited only by the underlying resource availability, storage, or network IO and QoS rules.
  • Data Replication with Zero Downtime: Running VMs can be replicated with zero impact on business continuity, given that the underlying infrastructure supports live-snapshotting.
  • Integrated Scheduler: Replicas can be scheduled to be executed automatically at fixed times or with a given frequency.
  • REST API and a friendly UI: The user can interact with Coriolis either through its REST API or through a modern Web UI.

Coriolis significantly enhanced our ability to present robust Disaster Recovery (DR) solutions to our customers. It allowed us to carry out necessary replication and migration tasks more efficiently, reducing operational complexity and increasing the speed of deployment. As a result, we could offer more reliable, faster, and scalable DR services, strengthening our value proposition to clients and enhancing overall customer satisfaction. Since adopting Coriolis, we have observed a significant reduction in operational costs related to replication and migration efforts. By automating many manual tasks, we estimate a 30–40% reduction in the time and resources previously needed for similar operations. Moreover, the faster turnaround times and improved reliability enabled us to expand our service offerings and attract new customers, providing a measurable increase in revenue.

Benefits to working with Cloudbase Solutions

Agentless Migration & Simple Licensing

  • True agent-less, nothing to be installed outside of the Coriolis appliance itself.
  • Purpose-built to handle both migrations and DR in the same appliance. No extra software to be installed. 
  • Simple licensing model, 1 license = 1 VM


Scalable & Automated Re-Platforming

  • Unlimited scale. The appliance performs with as much vCPU and Ram it can get. 
  • Re-platforming automatically in the platform, no need for manual steps. 


Flexible Support & Hypervisor Coverage

  • Every license comes with support of your choice. 
  • Extensive list of supported hypervisors

OfferingsResourcesFAQs

What options do I have to automate the migrations?

Besides the easy-to-use web UI, Coriolis also comes with a CLI and REST API that can be leveraged to create complex automated migration tasks.

Are any agents required to be installed on the VMs to be migrated?

Answer: Coriolis does not require agents to be installed, but rather relies on driving the migrations through the source and target platform operations.

Does Coriolis have any limitations, such as the size of the VM?

Coriolis does not have such limitations, and as part of the initial data replication, it will copy only the actual used data, and not the entire allocated space.

What license do I need to migrate the VMs?

One VM migration requires one Coriolis Migration license.
