Understanding the Migration Solution

CloudEndure MigrationThe CloudEndure solution that allows you to move data, applications, and other business elements from an onsite network or a cloud environment to another physical location or cloud environment. helps you simplify, expedite, and automate large-scale migration to AWS. Continuous Data ReplicationThe process of copying all data blocks from selected disks on a Source Machine to Staging Disks. takes place in the background, without application disruption or performance impact, which ensures that data is synced in real time and minimizes cutoverThe process of transitioning from one system to a replacement system. windows. When migration cutoverThe process of transitioning from one system to a replacement system. is initiated, CloudEndure executes a highly automated machineA physical or virtual computer. conversion and orchestration process, allowing even the most complex applications and databases to run natively in AWS, without compatibility issues and with minimal IT skills necessary.

The quickest way to get started is through the AWS Marketplace, where CloudEndure MigrationThe CloudEndure solution that allows you to move data, applications, and other business elements from an onsite network or a cloud environment to another physical location or cloud environment. is available as a SaaS Contract directly through your existing AWS account. If your enterprise is committed to a cloud migration journey and you wish to achieve a range of business benefits by migrating existing workloads to AWS, learn more about the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), which provides consulting support, training, and services credits.

Understanding the Disaster Recovery Solution

Business continuity and IT resilience are a click away with CloudEndure® Disaster RecoveryThe CloudEndure solution that enables the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems in case of a crippling event.. Our one-touch disaster recovery solution utilizes block-level continuous replication, as well as highly automated machineA physical or virtual computer. conversion and orchestration, to ensure minimal RPOA metric indicating of the amount of data at risk of being lost. Determined by the amount of time between data protection events and reflects the amount of data that potentially could be lost during a disaster recovery. The maximum targeted period in which data might be lost from an IT service due to a major incident. and RTORelated to downtime. The metric refers to the amount of time it takes to recover from a data loss event and how long it takes to return to service. The metric is an indication of the amount of time the system's data is unavailable or inaccessible, thus preventing normal service. for all applications and to significantly reduce traditional disaster recovery expenses.

CloudEndure Disaster RecoveryThe CloudEndure solution that enables the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems in case of a crippling event. is available on AWS Marketplace as a SaaS Contract and a SaaS Subscription, which means AWS customers can sign up directly through their AWS accounts and start replicating machines straight away — no paperwork, no long-term commitment, no minimum number of machines.

Using the Documentation Portal

The CloudEndure documentation portal has been constructed with ease-of-use and accessibility in mind. The portal is divided into three parts:

  1. A left-hand navigation menu.
  2. A central documentation pane.
  3. A top-right search box.

Navigation Menu

The left-hand navigation menu is the key organizational component of the documentation. The menu is divided into two sections:

  1. Contents menu
  2. Glossary

Contents Menu

The Contents menu allows you to browse between various documentation topics and subtopics in a quick, easy manner. The menu is divided into key topics, each of which has a variety of subtopics:

Clicking on each section opens up subsection for that specific section. Some sections only have a single subsection, while others have several subsections, as well as sub-subsections, and so on, up to six levels deep.

Clicking on each subsection opens up the corresponding documentation in the central pane.

Glossary

You can access the Glossary by clicking on the Glossary tab on the top of the left-hand navigation menu.

The Glossary will then appear. The Glossary contains key concepts and definitions.

You can search within the Glossary by typing a term within the top Glossary search bar.

Clicking on any Glossary term shows its definition.

Glossary definitions also appear within the documentation. Hover over a glossary term (identified by the arrow next to the term) and a definition will pop up.

Search Box

The top-right Search Box allows you to search for specific documents within the entire documentation portal.

You can search within the entire documentation, or you can search within specific parts of the documentation, such as FAQ/Troubleshooting topics, AWS specific, and solution specific information. Click on the dropdown arrow next to All Files and choose the category within which you would like to search.

Once you have identified where you would like to search, type in a term and click Enter or the search icon.

The results will be displayed in the central pane. The results are calculated by an algorithm that displays the most relevant results first.

Click on any search results to be automatically taken to that particular documentation.

Central Documentation Pane

As stated in previous sections, the central documentation pane displays the actual documentation. The information in the pane changes based on where you navigate within the right-hand navigation bar or the search engine. The information in the documentation pane always corresponds to the section shown in the right-hand navigation pane.

You can easily skip between sections by using the back and forward arrows at the top-right corner of the documentation pane.

You can expand the documentation pane by clicking the horizontal arrow on the left-hand side. This will hide the left-hand navigation menu. You can click the arrow again to show the menu.

You can print the current documentation page by clicking on the print icon on the top-left of the pane.
