Exactly! We had some servers that were just sitting there to host one service. Many of them could have run just fine on PCs, but you know how vendors are with their hardware requirements.

Using the P2V Converter, I was able to migrate most of them right in the middle of operations with ZERO downtime. I had it down to a science. After converting, I’d bring up the VM while shutting down the physical box we’re going away from, I’d run pings to both, and only lose ONE packet. The users never knew anything happened.....MOST of the time. lol

Rather than rewriting this... I ranted a bit about some of what I saw during our virtualization effort here.
