Abstract
A method and system transfers the hosting of online services to a virtual asset computing environment from a hardware asset computing environment, according to one embodiment. The method and system transfers a secondary copy of application data to a storage device, and delivers the storage device to a second computing system from the first computing system using a parcel courier, according to one embodiment. The method and system receives, with the second computing system, the secondary copy of the application data from the storage device, and configures virtual assets to execute a second instance of the online services application to enable the second computing system to provide the online services to the multiple users, according to one embodiment. The method and system configures the second computing system as a primary service provider, according to one embodiment.
