VELOCI-Raptor Conversion-Assist:
- The Conversion-Assist feature of VELOCI-Raptor will aid in the conversion from a user’s existing performance optimization tool to VELOCI-Raptor by ensuring product segregation.
- During a VELOCI-Raptor trial, VR Conversion-Assist allows the trialing of VR without modification to the current performance optimization product’s environment. The current product can remain active.
- During a conversion to VELOCI-Raptor, VR Conversion-Assist eliminates the need to manually move target optimizations from one product to another along with the need to stop one product in order to use the other.
The Conversion-Assist feature is installed on top of an existing VR installation and can be dynamically activated and deactivated via either operator commands, or commands included within VR’s startup parameters.
