Syncsort MVP Service for Physical to Virtual Migration

Server virtualization presents clear benefits to end users, but the road to virtualization is not always smooth. According to a survey conducted by Ziff Davis for Syncsort, 64% of users felt that migrating to virtual servers had a moderate to high level of difficulty, and the average per server migration time was over 11 hours.* Furthermore, backup was cited as the second biggest challenge in virtual machine deployments, just after security concerns.

There are many reasons for this – inadequate planning, lack of expertise in server virtualization, application disruption, the inherent obstacles of backup and recovery in a virtual environment, and others.
