+'''Near ZERO Downtime'''
-Tranzman ensures seamless migration without disrupting either the origin or destination backup environments. Downtime is only required during the switch-over to the destination.
+* Migration occurs without disruption, requiring downtime only during final switch-over.
-'''2. Structured Approach with Risk Mitigation:'''
+'''Structured Approach with Risk Mitigation'''
-Tranzman follows a well-defined approach focused on risk mitigation, allowing easy reversion to the original environment and automating the cleanup of any migrated components.
+* Easy rollback to the original environment and automated cleanup of migrated components.
-'''3. Release Flexibility:'''
+'''Release Flexibility'''
-Tranzman enables direct transitions from older versions to the latest ones, bypassing intermediate upgrades.
+* Direct transitions from older versions to the latest without intermediate upgrades.
-'''4. Granular Selectivity:'''
+'''Granular Selectivity'''
-Users can selectively choose images and configurations based on predefined rules, simplifying domain splits and partial transitions.
+* Selective migration based on predefined rules, allowing domain splits and partial transitions.
-'''5. Concurrent Transitions:'''
+'''Concurrent Transitions'''
-Tranzman supports both "many to one" merges and "one to many" splits with selected components for each destination.
+* Supports "many to one" merges and "one to many" splits with tailored components for each destination.
-'''6. Detailed Assessment:'''
+'''Detailed Assessment'''
-Pre-assessment and post-transition assessments provide comprehensive information about the origin and destination environments, ensuring consistency during the transition.
+* Comprehensive pre- and post-transition assessments to ensure consistency.
-'''7. Topology Transitions:'''
+'''Topology Transitions'''
-Tranzman can handle various topology changes, including:
+* Transitions across various setups:
-* Cluster to non-cluster (and vice versa)
+** Cluster to non-cluster (and vice versa)
-* Windows to *nix (and vice versa)
+** Windows to Linux-based systems (and vice versa)
-* Virtual to physical (and vice versa, including flex instances)
+** Virtual to physical environments (including flexible instances)
-* Bring Your Own (BYO) to appliance (and vice versa)
+** BYO (Bring Your Own) to appliance models (and vice versa)
