Invirtus Announces VM Converter Beta |
Saturday, 02 December 2006 by Michel Roth | |||
Invirtus VM Converter allows users to convert any number of Windows host operating systems running on a physical machine(s) into a guest operating system on a virtual machine(s). Users can convert host operating systems one-by-one or simultaneously by scheduling automated batches without requiring a user to be present at the machine being converted, and there are never any reboots. In addition, VM Converter does not require any software to be installed on the machine being converted. IT professionals interested in becoming Beta testers should sign up at www.invirtus.com. VM Converter Beta provides the following features: • Manual Conversion Mode allows users to convert one server at a time. • Automated Multiple Conversion Mode allows users to simultaneously manage unattended multiple conversions of hundreds of servers. • Advance scheduling (can be timed in advance for lowest server workload) • Mixed environment (vhd/vmdk file types supported) • No reboot required. • Easy to use, no training required. • Compatibility: • VM Optimizer is designed to work with vmdk files from all versions of VMware® Workstation, VMware Server, VMware ACE, VMware GSX Server, VMware ESX Server. • VM Optimizer is also designed to work with vhd files from Microsoft Virtual PC 2004, Microsoft® Virtual PC 2007, and Microsoft® Virtual Server 2005. VM Maker is the first in a series of additional virtualization tools that Invirtus will offer during First Quarter 2007. When used in conjunction with Invirtus VM Optimizer 2.5, the combined products provide ease of conversion and the creation of smaller, faster VMs. Read more here.
