## Company profile

Headquartered in London, Hystax develops automated migration, disaster recovery, backup, and
cloud optimization software. The company has a decade of experience with large-scale migrations
across heterogeneous source and target platforms, with a particular focus on OpenStack-based
clouds.

Hystax works primarily through cloud service providers, managed service providers,
telecommunications companies, and cloud vendors that deliver migration and resilience services to
their customers.

## Migration-framework relevance

- **STACKIT target integration**: Hystax Acura provides a documented STACKIT cloud type and uses
  STACKIT service-account credentials to discover, replicate, and recover workloads in target
  projects.
- **Heterogeneous VM relocation**: Supports VM-centric migration from VMware, bare metal, and other
  supported source platforms through background replication and automated P2V or V2V
  transformation.
- **Controlled migration waves**: Migration plans, isolated test migrations, and planned final
  cutovers support repeatable validation before production workloads move.
- **Migration and resilience operations**: Multi-tenant management and disaster recovery
  capabilities suit providers operating migration or protection services for multiple customers.
