P2V Services Print E-mail

We provide a P2V service. We have Experts who have years of experience converting physical servers into virtual ones.

A lot of our business is successfully P2V'ing servers that failed using other commercial products such as P2V Assistant, Platespin and others.  Other products have been known to cause harm to the source server.  Don't let this happen to you.

We guarantee our work. If we cannot successfully P2V it, then there is no charge for the server.

Because of our expertise we can offer flat rate pricing. A fixed price to P2V each server with quantity discounts. Prices can be as low as $500 per server to have them professionally converted into virtual machines. We can also do your P2V's on an hourly basis if preferred.

Our P2V solution is not like anyone else's. We do not use any proprietary products, just our own methodology and software.
There are no limitations in our P2V. We can convert any physical server into a virtual machine.

  • Our P2V method is the fastest way to successfully P2V servers.
  • We can do any type of disk configuration, raids or SAN.
  • We can always successfully P2V Linux servers.
  • We can P2V Novell servers. This applies to all versions of Novell Netware including older versions such as 3.12
  • We can P2V any version of Windows, with any service pack level.
  • Domain Controllers are no problem.
  • We can do any configuration of Windows Dynamic Disks.
  • We specialise in old NT servers, including all types of older Compaq's. We can successully convert all your old NT servers running on old dated hardware into brand new virtual machines.
  • We can convert servers from IDE to SCSI drives, from UNI processor to SMP processor or back.
  • We move your hard drive in one pass, from the physical server, through our caching server, then directly into the new virtual machine. This allows us to meet downtime windows for the P2V conversion.
  • In addition to straight P2V's, we can build you a new QA environment from virtualised copies of your Production environment.

We cause no harm to either the original physical server or the new virtual version of the server.

  • When we virtualise your physical server, we do nothing except reboot it with our boot cd and move your physical hard drives into a virtual server.
  • After we virtualise your server, the only thing different is the VMware tools (Video, SCSI, other drivers) which we need to install.
  • You do not need to reinstall any service packs or hot fixes for Windows (NT).
  • If your Application on the physical server is Certified, our method would keep your certification, as nothing is changed in the virtual except for the necessary changes. Installing the VMware tools, a new NIC (virtual), the virtual SCSI driver are the only required additions.
  • When we P2V servers, our customers put them back into Production as soon as we complete the process.
