Physical Server to Virtual Server Conversion Service
 |
We guarantee to be able to a convert your physical server into a virtual
one - if we fail we won't charge you anything. |
|
|
Although it's called "conversion", in every case, after
conversion is complete, the original
physical server is left in tact and operational.
(Remember though, the virtual server will now be using the physical server's operating system
licence and probably it's IP address and Netbios name.) |
|
|
We include 30 days of support, after the conversion, to deal with any problems, complications or
side-effects of the conversion process. |
Things to do before starting the conversion
The time required for the conversion depends on the size of your server's system partition.
The more gigabytes it is, the longer it will take to image, restore,
convert and copy.
A tidy up of the server's hard drives before
performing the conversion is therefore recommended to delete unneeded files and move
any data files to a separate Data partition.
These are the 2 Ways that we can Perform the Conversion
Using Remote Access over the Internet
If you are able to give us remote access to your network, we can
connect to your server and take a disk image of its system drive.
We'll then connect to your host server, perform the conversion and
finally boot the new virtual server in the virtualisation program
running on the host.
If you prefer, you can take the disk image yourself and copy it to
the host computer so that you only have to give us access to that
computer and not let us near your live server.
To avoid disruption to your business operation, we can perform the
conversion after hours or over a weekend.
The typical price for this method of conversion is £525.
Site Visit
If you want the process to take the least amount of time
and require the least amount of involvement by you or your staff, we can
come to your premises and perform the whole physical-to-virtual
conversion process ourselves.
Allow a full day for he
conversion process to allow for the unexpected
problems that always seem to turn up.
To minimise the impact of server
downtime, we can come and do the job at a weekend.
The typical price for this method of conversion is £725, if performed during normal
hours and you are located close to our base in South-Central England.
