Case Study: Extrinsica Global achieves rapid, near-zero-downtime cross-platform migration with Vision Solutions' Double-Take Move

Extrinsica Global - Customer Case Study

Extrinsica Global, an Oxfordshire-based IT firm that delivers enterprise cloud solutions, needed to migrate a customer’s data and applications from a legacy data center to a new one. The move involved changing hardware (Dell to Cisco blade servers) and virtualization platforms (VMware to Hyper‑V) within a limited downtime window, so a fast, reliable, low-risk migration method was required to avoid disrupting the customer’s operations.

Extrinsica used Vision Solutions’ Double-Take Move to replicate servers over the network and keep source and target synchronized in near real time, enabling full testing, snapshot failovers and failbacks before cutover. The migration, started Friday night, was complete and fully tested by 3:00 a.m., significantly reducing migration time, simplifying the process, minimizing human-error risk and backed by responsive vendor support.
