vConverter

vConverter provides numerous features for effective ongoing disaster recovery in existing physical environments. First, vConverter generates virtual backups for physical servers. Next, vConverter’s Continuous Protection Mode regularly updates these virtual backups with changes occurring on the physical server. vConverter ensures that companies have a “virtual standby system” that is up to date and can be immediately utilized in the event of physical server problems or outages

P2V, V2V for Server Consolidation and Disaster Recovery

Vizioncore’s vConverter is enterprise-class software that significantly reduces the time, cost and effort required to convert physical and virtual machines to VMware®, Microsoft®, XenServer™ or Virtual Iron™. vConverter is suitable for ongoing disaster recovery needs, as well as for medium to large server consolidation initiatives where hundreds or thousands of physical servers need to be virtualized.

Server Consolidation Strengths

vConverter is able to migrate more servers per conversion window than any other conversion method or technology, dramatically reducing risk, cost and time from start to finish. This is achieved via the automation of many pre and post migration tasks, and accelerated conversion times. Superior disk and network I/O algorithms ensure the fastest possible conversions.

Disaster Recovery for Physical Machines

vConverter provides numerous features for effective ongoing disaster recovery, including a ‘Continuous Protection’ mode, which performs incremental syncs at user-defined intervals to ensure the integrity of the source physical server, and currency between production environment and virtual standby systems.

Conversion Flexibility and Usability

An intuitive GUI allows administrators to convert single or multiple servers simultaneously within just a few seconds of setup. Conversion jobs can also be scheduled for non-peak times to ensure as little disruption as possible.

Key Features:

Superior ‘migration economics’ for mid-large scale consolidation initiatives
Ongoing physical server protection via ‘Continuous Protection’ mode
Reduced cutover window via preplanned Synchronized Cutover feature
Guaranteed consistency of source and target systems via Cold Cloning option
Faster conversion of high I/O systems thru support for VMware Raw Device Mapping
Virtual appliance feature enables conversions where no service console is present (e.g. Xen Embedded and ESX 3i)
File or block level cloning
Notification by e-mail on the status of conversion jobs
Fully automated converter with numerous time saving efficiencies, such as server agent uninstall, first boot auto login and post conversion user script execution
