What's in the Release Notes
Introduction to Converter Standalone
VMware vCenter Converter Standalone provides an easy-to-use solution to automate the process of creating VMware virtual machines from physical machines (running Windows and Linux), other virtual machine formats, and third-party image formats. Through an intuitive wizard-driven interface and a centralized management console, Converter Standalone can quickly and reliably convert multiple local and remote physical machines without any disruptions or downtime.
Benefits
Convert physical machines running Windows or Linux operating systems to VMware virtual machines quickly and without any disruption or downtime.
Convert third-party image or virtual machine formats such as Parallels Desktop, Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery, Norton Ghost, Acronis, StorageCraft, Microsoft Virtual Server or Virtual PC, and Microsoft Hyper-V Server virtual machines to VMware virtual machines.
Enable centralized management of remote conversions of multiple physical servers or virtual machines simultaneously.
Ensure conversion reliability through quiesced snapshots of the guest operating system on the source machine before data migration.
Enable non-disruptive conversions through hot cloning, with no source server downtime or reboot.
