Disaster Recovery for Physical Servers
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.
vConverter Features:
vConverter is a total solution for converting physical servers to VMware, Microsoft, XenServer or Virtual Iron virtual machines. It provides the functionality, ease of use and speed needed for high-volume P2V server migrations, and includes features and automations specifically developed to minimize the end-to-end conversion time.

Automated Conversion Tasks
vConverter automates many pre- and post-conversion tasks, including the ability to configure source services and run custom scripts on the target VM. This simplifies and accelerates conversion initiatives.

Easy to Use
An intuitive GUI allows administrators to convert single or multiple servers simultaneously shortly after setup

Reliability
File-based and high-speed block-level transfer enables companies to protect transactional workloads

Incremental Replication for Disaster Recovery (Continuous Protection)

Incremental replication technology in vConverter allows physical servers to be continuously protected. Only changes to source data are replicated to target virtual machines to minimize network traffic and allow for more regular replication cycles.

Synchronized Cutover
A preplanned cutover allows P2V conversion, test the process and then synchronize source and target systems before the final cutover, while continuing to run the source system

Remote Cold Cloning
Ensures data consistency in source and target systems by utilizing cold clone boot CD to support transactional systems, like database and email servers.

Integrated Support for VMware Raw Device Mapping
Provides virtual machine with direct access to a LUN on the physical storage subsystem. Users can leverage the underlying SAN software for snap shots and data replication and to improve I/O

Virtual Appliance
Supports operation on virtual infrastructure where no service console is present, for example Virtual Appliance for Xen Embedded and ESX3i.
