VMware P2V consists of both a service (offered by our own Professional services organization) and proprietary software that helps you migrate your existing physical machine environment into a Virtual machine, largely automatically. The P2V process consists of three steps: imaging, virtualization, and reinstantiation (or re-booting) in a new virtual machine. The imaging step can be done using either 3rd-party backup software, such as Ghost, or using the included VMware BootCD and P2V imaging process. Virtualization occurs in the GUI-driven P2V Assistant software, which runs on any Windows 2000 or Windows XP physical system or virtual machine, and reinstantiation can occur in any VMware product, from Workstation to GSX Server and ESX Server. The advantage of this automated process, of course, is speed and safety: migrating, instead of reinstalling or rebuilding, preserves your original files – so there’s no extra time spent, and no risk of leaving things behind. Enterprise PCs are the most underutilized and most difficult to manage IT asset today. This slide only begins to capture the various issues facing It administrators today Heterogeneous hardware requiring multiple PC images for each machine High management cost driven by labor intensive support issues Admin inefficiencies, instead of focusing on making IT more strategic, IT spends all their time resetting passwords or other basic tasks Security is probably the number 1 issue facing IT today Compliance has made security an even more pressing issue PC utilization is incredibly low by any standards These new PC demands call for a solution with new capabilities. The ability to instantly redeploy desktops in the event of a disaster, the ability to provide access to PC environments from any location, the need to provide secure access to offshore and outsource workers, and finally the need to consolidate PC environments into a secure and compliant architecture.
