vConverter “Direct to ESX Server” Demo

Recordings of Actual Conversions:  Example #3

The recording below shows vConverter 3.0 performing a migration of a physical Web Server running Windows® Server 2003 SP1 server with a single 233GB volume,  converting directly to a VMware ESX host.

The entire conversion takes exactly 4 minutes (video runs at 5x speed).

Size of hard drive doesn’t matter as vConverter uses a rapid pre-allocation algorithm.
The amount of data and number of applications residing on the source machine will obviously affect the conversion time. This example provides more of a baseline for a fresh machine.
