Customers can easily add Signian'’s acceleration to their Rapid Migrate workflows to speed migration time to the cloud. Signiant's unique SaaS platform ensures best-of-breed migration acceleration as cloud-side resources auto-scale as needed. Because of this, end-users need not concern themselves with the complexities of cloud compute deployments as Signiant automatically provisions and deploys the required cloud instances to support Rapid Migrate’s migration bandwidth demands.
