RackWare Academy: Introduction and Core Concepts of Cloud Migration and Disaster Recovery

RackWare Academy technical training: Introduction and Core Concepts (January 2026). Led by RackWare Principal Solution Architect David Gioso, this expert-led session gives cloud engineers, architects, and partner and delivery teams a complete working foundation in the RackWare Multi-Cloud Mobility and Resilience Platform, including a live hands-on deployment and demo in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). What's covered: Platform architecture, including how the RackWare engine connects agentlessly to source hosts over SSH, discovers workloads and their CPU, memory, and OS details, auto-provisions matching VMs in the target cloud, and syncs complete workloads with the OS, applications, and data intact. A live walkthrough of deploying the RackWare engine from the cloud marketplace, licensing it, and configuring cloud API access. Migration workflows, from wave-based migrations with bulk CSV import for hundreds of hosts to efficient delta syncs, predictable cutover windows, and non-disruptive testing at the target site. Disaster recovery, covering staged sync to storage, DR policies, snapshots, test and drill mode versus true failover, and tuning for your RPO and RTO requirements. The prerequisites that make or break deployments, such as LVM free extents for consistent snapshots, antivirus exclusions, and source host preparation for Windows and Linux at scale. Support for mission-critical workloads including live in-memory databases such as SAP HANA and Microsoft SQL, plus data sovereignty by design, since all data stays in your environment with no phone-home. Ideal for teams planning VMware exits, cloud migrations, or DR modernization across OCI, IBM Cloud, Azure, AWS, and GCP. Learn more: RackWare Academy: https://www.rackwareinc.com/rackware-...
