How to convert a physical server using VmWare converter.

Wellcome all,

This is my first video. As you can see this website’s title, the main subject will be the virtualisation. I’m gonna show you how to easily convert a physical computer, which does not has to be a server, into a VMWare ESX server. The tool I’m gonna be using in this video is called VmWare Converter. It’s a free tool (if you convertin one physical computer at a time). If you wanna convert several machines at the same time, you have to buy this product and activate with the proper serial number.

Update: Since then VMware made this product available for Free. You can launch several conversions at the same time.

If you want to use another product to backup your server, system and/or data partitions into external storaga, and then you can CONVERT the backup image into VMware or Microsoft Virtual Machine. The product which does that is Acronis. There is several editions available. There is Workstation or Server Edition.
