Large and Small Migrations

Not all migration projects will proceed in the same way. Some projects are smaller and low-risk, while others are more complex. This guide will show you how to be successful with large, complex migrations. However, many steps can be simplified or even skipped if they are not necessary for your particular project.

Part of your migration planning includes a review of the entire process, where you can get an idea of which parts of the migration you might not need to perform.

VIPRE Endpoint Migrator

VIPRE Endpoint Migrator is a tool we created to handle migrating your existing VIPRE Endpoint Security Server settings and agents to one of our VIPRE Cloud solutions. It provides the quickest and easiest migration of your policies, exclusions, and agents. Using Endpoint Migrator reduces the number of steps required to complete a successful migration.

Important

VIPRE Endpoint Migrator is optimized for Windows-based agents only. Mac agents are not currently supported.

A Multi-step Process

Whether you are migrating from a current VIPRE Server-based installation or another endpoint security solution, the migration process consists of these high-level steps: Plan > Prepare > Execute.

Migration Steps Description
Step 1: Planning your migration
