Invirtus, Inc. Announces Enterprise VM Converter Beta

Schedule VM conversions to consolidate multiple servers simultaneously, automatically

Atlanta, GA – November 17, 2006 – Invirtus, Inc. today announced the Beta availability of a new product: Enterprise VM Converter , an Enterprise class platform conversion application that transforms physical machines into virtual machines.

“IT managers who need a cost-effective, simple but powerful way to migrate physical systems into virtual machines will find that Invirtus is a valuable part of any Enterprise Conversion strategy.” said Tom Edwards, Invirtus CEO. “By using Enterprise VM Converter and VM Optimizer, our customers can maximize their return on investment with virtualization.”

Invirtus Enterprise VM Converter allows users to convert any number of Windows® host operating systems running on a physical machine(s) into a guest operating system on a virtual machine(s). Enterprise VM Converter allows the user to migrate host operating systems in a one-by-one manual mode or simultaneously in an automated batch or scheduled mode without requiring a user to be present at the machine being converted. In addition, Enterprise VM Converter does not require any software to be installed on the machine being converted and there are never any reboots. IT professionals interested in becoming Beta testers should sign up for the beta at http://www.invirtus.com/.

“Very professional look and feel. The GUI is nice and the drag and drop feature is cool. I converted a server with a 10GB disk really quick over a 100mb network without rebooting!” said Steven Deweirt, “Invirtus made converting physical servers easy and efficient.”

  • Manual Conversions: allows users to convert one server at a time
  • Automated Multiple Conversions: allows users to simultaneously manage unattended multiple conversions of hundreds of servers.
  • Advance scheduling (can be timed in advance for lowest server workload and to minimize network bandwidth requirements)
  • Mixed environment (vhd/vmdk file types supported)
  • No reboot required
  • Easy to use, no training required.
  • Compatibility:
    • Enterprise VM Converter is designed to work with vmdk files from all versions of VMware® Workstation™, VMware Server™, VMware ACE™, VMware GSX Server™, VMware ESX Server™.
    • Enterprise VM Converter is also designed to work with vhd files from Microsoft® Virtual PC™ 2004, Microsoft® Virtual PC 2007, Microsoft® Virtual Server™ 2005 and Microsoft® Virtual Server™ 2005 R2.

Enterprise VM Converter is the first in a series of additional virtualization software products that Invirtus will offer during First Quarter 2007. When used in conjunction with Invirtus VM Optimizer 2.5, the combined products provide ease of conversion and the creation of smaller, faster VMs.
