Numerous well-known HCI products include Windows, VMware, and others. These brands are high-quality yet pricey. For this reason, some people are searching for alternatives in order to get a high-quality, reasonably priced product. Herein is the role of Sangfor HCI. Simultaneously, Sangfor has developed a platform that facilitates the migration of Sangfor HCI from other brands, including Windows, VMware, and Linux virtual machines.

You may use the migrate function to relocate virtual machines from one server to another if you have a cluster of hosts in your Sangfor HCI setup and you want to distribute the workload evenly among the hosts. This promotes performance optimization and an equal distribution of resource consumption.

As an alternative to a typical data center, the idea of HCI means that a lot of data will be generated and shared. At the absolute least, the data center ought to have a disaster recovery site (DR). In case of an emergency, Sangfor HCI offers migration features from DC to DR.

In the context of Sangfor HCI, the migrate function performs a number of functions, the main one being to guarantee smooth operations inside the virtualized environment. The migrate function is used to move virtual machines across physical hosts in order to improve performance or optimize resource use.

This could be required for load balancing, hardware repair, or situations where excessive traffic volume could put a strain on available resources. Additionally, migration helps with disaster recovery plans by enabling you to quickly migrate virtual machines (VMs) to more resilient or backup hardware in the event of an emergency or breakdown, guaranteeing uptime and reducing downtime. Essentially, the migrate function becomes essential to preserving your Sangfor HCI infrastructure's effectiveness, robustness, and dependability.

Consolidation of data centers: To enable more efficient management, virtual machines must be moved to the centralized HCI infrastructure.
Storage optimization: You may reduce storage costs and usage by moving virtual machines (VMs) among various storage pools in the HCI cluster according to performance needs or access patterns.

Please note that the steps might vary depending on the specific version and features of the Sangfor HCI solution you are using. Always refer to the official documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
