Beta testers of Virtual Server 2005 Migration Toolkit received an email today regarding the end of the beta program, and the immediate availability of the tool for download from its home page.
IT departments are looking for ways to increase operational efficiencies by implementing Virtual Server 2005 in development and test environments, targeted production workloads, and legacy application scenarios. One of the key steps in a successful Virtual Server 2005 deployment strategy is simplifying the process of converting physical servers to virtual machines.
A free, downloadable tool for Virtual Server 2005, Virtual Server Migration Toolkit (VSMT) simplifies the migration of an operating system and installed applications from a physical server to a server running within a virtual machine that is provided and managed by Virtual Server 2005. With Virtual Server 2005, you can set up multiple virtual machines running different operating systems and applications on the same physical computer.
