With updates to storage offloading, your organization can efficiently plan and execute your VM migrations with MTV 2.10. Speed is a critical component of a VM migration. Storage offloading is now available in Technology Preview in MTV 2.10. For large-scale migrations, network bandwidth is often a primary bottleneck. Storage offloading eliminates this constraint by leveraging the power of existing storage arrays to manage the data transfer. Instead of pushing data over the network, MTV's plug-in module coordinates with the storage provider to move VM disk data directly over the storage system. This results in significantly faster migrations, reduced downtime, and greater reliability. Learn more about storage offloading. Warm migrations are now supported in Developer Preview: Previously limited to cold migrations (in Technology Preview), MTV 2.10 now supports storage offloading with warm migrations. You can keep critical VMs running while data is migrated quickly and safely, with minimal downtime during the cutover. Please verify with your account team if this option makes sense for your migration plan.
