This virtual machine was chosen for this article because it's a Production virtual machine used 24x7x365 to distribute images and software using the Windows Distribution System to over 250 workstations, distributing Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 images,Īdministrators are often updating the images and software lists, Staff are using it to deploy software 24x7, and so it is very difficult to get scheduled downtime to perform the migration, if the server was to be powered off. The virtual machine to be migrated is a Windows Server 2012 R2 server, it has 4 vCPU, 10GB RAM and has two virtual disks, The OS system volume disk is 100GB, and the Data volume is 550GB. In this article, I'm going to show you how quickly it is to Migrate a Microsoft Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V virtual machine to a VMware vSphere virtual machine, hosted on VMware vSphere ESXi 5.5. Those clever guys at Vision Solutions have now spun this out into a new product called Double-Take MOVE which does Anything to Anything migrations! We started to use Double-Take in 1998 for clients in the Telecommunications Industry that had a requirement for highly available platforms, on Windows NT. If the name Double-Take is not familiar to you, Double-Take MOVE technology is built on the lasting pedigree of Business Continuity Disaster Recovery Solutions software - Double-Take. We have now recently switched to a new product, called Double-Take MOVE by Vision Solutions.
