[Novalug] NT to VM

[Kevin Chin]

True, PlateSpin is not free.  Just to clarify the record, there are several
products in the PlateSpin brand... and capacity planning is just one part.
They also do DR and as I mentioned, can also help migrate from x2x (P2V,
V2P, V2V, etc.).

Depending on your needs, PlateSpin Migrate may certainly be overkill.
