The launch of Cristie Connect API will allow service providers and enterprise integrators to easily embed machine cloning and migration in to their own online service offerings.

The Connect API provides full control of CloneManager to clone and move running machines across different physical, virtual and cloud environments. Users can optimize resource allocation, manage server infrastructure and utilize DR capabilities. There is an option for agentless clones for both Windows and Linux sources. It allows users to fully incorporate all CloneManager features within their own service deployment frameworks without the overhead of developing bespoke solutions.

Service Providers can expand their portfolio offering using the brand and approach that they are comfortable with, generating additional revenue opportunities through services wrapped around the cloning and migration.

Cristie has provided comprehensive documentation, as well as code snippets and examples to make development with the Connect API easier. A lightweight test harness for developers to test their configuration against is also included. The Connect API is SOAP-based and works in any environment where SOAP or REST is supported.
