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.”
