Windows many of the issues that cause P > V fail are
avoided. |
|
|
| Parallel
conversions |
|
|
|
Multiple conversions can be run simultaneously -
limited only by the capacity of your network and host server running
the virtualization software. |
|
|
| No training |
|
|
|
A highly automated conversion process, with all of
the logic and conversion rules built in, enables both developers and
IT professionals to perform conversions without the need to attend
costly and tie consuming training sessions. The P>V Wizard guides
the user, automatically making the right decisions for that
hardware, transfers the disks, and reboots the virtual server into
the transferred operating system - leaving only the installation of
the virtualization tools. |
|
|
| Flexible
licensing |
|
|
|
Pay per successful conversion ($100 each, sold in
packs of fifteen) or flat rate licensing, makes it a very affordable
solution for any size of organization. |
|
|
| Components |
|
|
|
P>V Direct has two key components: |
|
|
| P>V
Wizard |
|
|
|
The Wizard is installed and run on the origin
server. It profiles the machine and instructs the Host Agent on the
destination server running the virtualization software to create the
appropriate virtual server. The wizard automatically uninstalls on
the virtual server after conversion, and it can be completely
uninstalled from the physical server after the conversion process.
|
|
|
| Host Agent |
|
|
|
The Leostream Host Agents are installed on the
destination server running the virtualization software.
Virtualization platforms support includes VMware ESX 2.x and GSX 3.x
for Windows, as well as Microsoft Virtual Server 2005. |
|
|
|
|
