Converting Physical Servers to Virtual Machines
Posted by decipherinfosys on July 24, 2008
In almost any virtualization project, you will run into the need of converting physical machines to virtual machines. Both VMWare and Microsoft provide solutions for that. Here is the link that gives the details of the vmware converter.
